Second, the whole note trill (trill on the left) is misleading. The ornament symbol is called whole note but it uses a double sharp accidental. When using accidentals in trills, the accidental is applied to the note a diatonic step above the trill. In the case above, the first trill would actually indicate trilling between a G and an A double-sharp (i.e. B) where as the trill on the right, though not labeled a whole step trill, does indicate a trill between G and A (whole step).

Behind Bars by Elaine Gould covers the nuances very succinctly on page 138.
@schwa,

Can you take a look at this post? I think it's especially relevant before the whole tone trill makes it into a formal build.
