im doing abrsm grade 6 piece and it come up with trills and i need help i know trills is rapid alternation of the note and the note above. The editor or composer has put his interpretation of the trill so are all trill signs after this one to be interpreted this way until stated otherwise?

Don't follow the editor's suggestions: they tend to be unnecessarily confusing. When you play a trill, you're supposed to start on the note above (according to the key signature, unless explicitly specified), and do the rapid alternation for the length of the note on which the trill is marked.
