ORNANMENTS

Grace notes, which occupy no time value of their own, are indicated by enclosing them in curly braces - "{" and "}".  The duration of grace notes is not specified in the ABC standard and is implemented by the various software programs in different ways.  Trills are indicated by placing an uppercase T before the note to be trilled.  Actually, this is a pre-defined shortcut for !trill! which can also be used.
