  Trill consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In phonetics, a trill is a consonantal sound produced by vibrations between the articulator and the place of articulation.
Whereas with a flap (or tap), a specific gesture is used to strike the active articulator against the passive one, in the case of a trill the articulator is held in place, where the airstream causes it to vibrate.
Epiglottal consonants are often allophonically trilled, and in some languages the trill is the primary realization of the consonant.

 Trill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Aside from the exceptions like Curzon, Trills are usually very responsible and moderate or reserved in personality; the symbionts don't seek romance and try to adhere to a "higher plane," feeling it a nuisance and a weakness of the young -- although the host body occasionally indulges, as Curzon and Odan did.
Trill physiology may be the reason why Science Officer Dax is the first of the Deep Space Nine senior staff to show symptoms of the alien telepathic archival matrix.
Joined Trills are allergic to insect bites, since the biochemical connections of the symbiont and host can't tolerate the toxins.

 Dolmetsch Online - The Story of a Trill
The trill T(1) for B to C is so clearly nonsense if one is trying to play in tune that whatever her reputation as a performer, I would certainly question her hearing.
The question arose from a suggested fingering for a semitone trill (written as a semitone trill C to B) which is actually the fingering for a tone trill C# to B. For the semitone trill there is general agreement that a perfectly good fingering exists T 2(3).
I think that preference for false trills at the exclusion of otherwise perfectly good alternatives suggests that the desired trill aesthetic was that of subdued delicacy and clarity at least, e.g., in adagios.

 Trill (music) - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
At slower tempos a note will last longer, meaning more notes can be played in the trill, but with a fast tempo and short note a trill might be reduced to nothing more than the indicated note, the note above and the indicated note again.
Trills may also be played beginning on the note above the one indicated (the auxiliary note).
Unless one of these specific signs is indicated (and beyond the Baroque period they are very rare), there are no definite rules about whether a trill starts on the main note or the auxiliary note and whether the above alternative ending or some similar alternative beginning is used.

A trill is the combination of both Hammer-ons and Pull-offs.
The trick is to keep an even volume when performing a long trill (say 6 or 8 consecutive hammer-on and pull-off combinations).
By using a firm hammer-on and a slight sideways motion on the pull-off, you should be able to achieve an even volume through out the length of the trill.

Finally, it is obvious that DS9 Trill is supposed to be a member of the Federation and most likely even a long-time member, whereas this definitely isn't the case with TNG Trill.
