F Record - Trill Reference
A trill reference record is a special F record that refers to the full-specification fingering (see F Record - Full Specification) of another note's trill (always a full-step or half-step lower note). Character 5 is an R, indicating that this is a Trill Reference fingering record.
Format:
FnndRs##[;bmp=fname]
where
nn = version number (00-99).
d = Display Indicator (d, h, r, s, t, w)
d = display
h = hide
r = report-only
s = screen-only
t = text (.txt) report only
w = wordprocessor (.rtf) report only
s = step code
1 = refers to note which is full step below
2 = refers to note which is half-step below
Note that s is a code, not a step count. In other words, 1 does not mean 1 step. It is a code that means a full note below, while 2 is a code that means a half note below. Thus, for example, you cannot give it a 3. This contrasts with relative fingering (see F Record - Relative), where the +/- value is really a half-step count.
## = the number of the fingering being referred to (00-99)
fname = optional external bitmap to load (see Using Bitmaps on F Records.)
The total length of the record should not exceed 200 characters. Otherwise it will truncate without a warning or error condition (see Remarks & Hints).
Example:
F85dR220 - this refers to version 20 of the note a half-step back
