To place tremolo marks between notes, use \repeat
with
tremolo style:
\new Voice \relative c' { \repeat tremolo 8 { c16 d16 } \repeat tremolo 4 { c16 d16 } \repeat tremolo 2 { c16 d16 } }
The \repeat tremolo
syntax expects exactly two notes within
the braces, and the number of repetitions must correspond to a
note value that can be expressed with plain or dotted notes. Thus,
\repeat tremolo 7
is valid and produces a double dotted
note, but \repeat tremolo 9
is not.
The duration of the tremolo equals the duration of the
braced expression multiplied by the number of repeats:
\repeat tremolo 8 { c16 d16 }
gives a whole note tremolo,
notated as two whole notes joined by tremolo beams.
There are two ways to put tremolo marks on a single note. The
\repeat tremolo
syntax can be used even here, in which case
the note should not be surrounded by braces:
\repeat tremolo 4 c'16
The same output can be obtained by adding
‘:
[number]’ after the note. The number indicates
the duration of the subdivision, and it must be at least 8. A
number value of 8 gives one line across the note stem. If
the length is omitted, the last value (stored in
tremoloFlags
) is used
c'2:8 c':32 | c': c': |
Tremolos entered with ‘:
[number]’ do not carry over
into the MIDI output.
