Re: trill notes

Depends on the context -- i.e., which note is the "fundamental" and  
which is the "embellishment", as well as the underlying harmonic  
structure (chords, etc.).

Harmonically, there is only one "correct" answer -- from a  
performance/engraving perspective, there may be other ways of writing  
it which are easier to play (based on fingering, ease of sight- 
reading, etc.).

Hope this helps!
