Yes .... just what I said. It's most often used as a step in the scale. A trill on G in the key of G is GAGAGAGAGAGAGA etc...
Maybe we're saying the same thing in a way, but I rarely see the 1/2 step trils unless they are on the scale degrees that are next to a natural 1/2 step.
eg:
between 3-4 and 7-8 in the scale.
