A note on the trace formula

In this mostly expository note, we prove explicit formulas for the traces of Hecke operators on spaces of cusp forms fixed by Atkin-Lehner involutions, which are suitable for efficient implementation. In addition, we correct a couple of errors in previously published formulas.
