[Harp-L] Stevie Wonder FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE

[Michael Rubin]

It's cool with me to call something a half step trill, but isn't a whole
step distance implied within the word trill?  As far as I know you can only
trill by shaking between 4 and 5 draw (and their higher octave repeats) on
a chrome and 6 and 7 draw on a diatonic.  "Trilling" a half step isn't
really trilling, it's something else.  I call moving between 2 notes
rapidly by repeatedly pushing the button in and out a "flourish", but
that's my own term and has no basis in classical music terminology.
