trills zigzagty! ;)
Ok I don't think I need a pic of it: it's the little zigzagy wave over a note, but there is a little line cutting it in 2 parts... I never met this before so i checked out Andrew's video about ornement. He talked about trills, but he didn't mentionned what it does when the wave is cut in 2.
In the piece, it sounds much better if I trills the principal note and the note before it.
So Is that right? Or is that just a regular trill?
Thanks!

Re: trills zigzagty! ;)
My tips would be to just play it as a normal trill!!
Ï dont thin it means anything different really! 
Look up the piece on youtube?! And compare. How is it played there? Then copy that.!

Re: trills zigzagty! ;)
That looks like a mordent ^_^ which means you play the note it's written above folowed by the lower note and ending on the note that is written. so say there is a C written, you would play C,B,C Hope that helps!

Okay so its like the oposite of an normal trill??
Cause a normal trill is Ex: C written - C,D,C?? I have learned it. But cant remember

I used whay yo much time trying ti figuring it out on Turkish March. I had to listen to youtubevideos to get it right. And the best tutorial I found on the piece had it wrong

Mordent
An insertion of the semitone below the specified note within its value (this particular case can be called a "lower mordent"). Without the vertical line, the inserted semitone is above the specified note, and the ornament is known as an upper mordent.
