Hard to believe that this is the first time I've encountered a

Anyway, I'm in F minor, and there's a flute trill from G flat, and I
want it to trill to A flat. Do I indicate tr natural? or tr flat?
Just what do those accidentals on trills indicate?
If you actually have a 4-flat key signature, then no indication is
necessary other than "tr", as trills are diatonic by default.
This is the key piece of information. Can't believe I didn't know
that. So the accidentals are only used when something other than the
next higher diatonic note is needed. That's clear enough.
Thanks, Christopher
I'd not rely on this assumption. If the trill was on G natural, then
yes, I'd accept the 'diatonic default'. But G flat is far enough away
from the tonic key to potentially introduce all sorts of chromatic
ambiguity.
