Although I put before this topic, maybe I didn't explain it very well my purpose.

measures 6 and 10 the Clarinet plays the Trill B/natural C (not C#), that is, a semitone
How could I notate that, please?



I appreciate your help

In your file, you have an articulation that has the trill sign (tr) with a natural sign above it. Choose that instead of the regular trill sign.

This is how I'd do it. The trill/natural should be in Smart Shape Tool > Custom Line Selection.

Another solution that I saw and that I like. Easy to create.

I went into my default document, and the Smart Shape trill to natural I have looks quite different than the one David has. I wonder why.

I suppose I was suggesting that the default files are different between Mac and Win.

I think it's Engraver versus Maestro rather than Mac versus Windows.

You must have gone to some lengths to create that and forgot about it. The smaller natural doesn't seem to exist in Engraver Font Set, so you would need mixed point sizes, plus a baseline shift for the natural.

Thank you all of you.
Zuill, how do you arrive to get that trill, please?

It's an articulation. Click on the note and choose it from the list. I revised your file to have that articulation applied to the note in bar 6.
