+In general, @code{make-dynamic-script} takes any markup object as its

Trills that require an auxiliary note with an explicit pitch can
be typeset with the @code{\pitchedTrill} command. The first
argument is the main note, and the second is the @emph{trilled}
note, printed as a stemless note head in parentheses.

In the following example, the second pitched trill is ambiguous;
the accidental of the trilled note is not printed. As a
workaround, the accidentals of the trilled notes can be forced.
