Re: Can't get markup to go below slur

[Mats Bengtsson]

First of all, why do you use a markup? If you read the section on trills,
it will point you to the section on articulations which tells you that you
can use d2.^\trill.
However, to answer your direct question, use
\override Script #'avoid-slur = #'inside
(assuming that you replaced your markup with \trill).

In general, you can always move things around using the extra-offset
property, as described in "Common Tweaks".
