Many thanks for the suggestion, and I agree it would be a useful addition to
the docs. However, the way we add examples which use overrides is via
snippets. If your suggestion is added to the LSR and tagged with
'repeats,docs' it will appear automatically in the Repeats snippet list in
section 1.4. Even better, once in the LSR, I can easily add it as a
Selected Snippet as part of Tremolo repeats.
Valentin, can you add this as a snippet, or shall we wait until Seba gets
back?

Subject: documentation addition (tremolo beams)
Hi all,
The vast amount of time it took me to figure out this simple solution
inspired
me to actually recommend some changes to the docs. Whoever's in charge of
this,
feel free to edit it if needed. Thanks again for an awesome program.
Mark

In section 1.4.2 Short repeats::Tremolo repeats, after the fourth
paragraph
("...two whole notes joined by tremolo beams."), I'd like to recommend
these
2 new paragraphs:
----
Stemmed tremolos with open note-heads (appearing like half-notes) are
normally
typeset with beams that connect to the stems. Certain engraving styles
typeset
some of these beams as centered floating beams that do not touch the
stems. The
number of floating beams in this type of tremolo is controlled with the
gap-count property of the Beam object:
\repeat tremolo 8 { a'32 f' }
\override Beam #'gap-count = #1
\repeat tremolo 8 { a'32 f' }
\override Beam #'gap-count = #2
\repeat tremolo 8 { a'32 f' }
\override Beam #'gap-count = #3
\repeat tremolo 8 { a'32 f' }
The size of the gaps between beams and stems is set with the gap
property::
\override Beam #'gap-count = #3
\override Beam #'gap = #1.33
\repeat tremolo 8 { a'32 f' }
\override Beam #'gap = #1
\repeat tremolo 8 { a'32 f' }
\override Beam #'gap = #0.67
\repeat tremolo 8 { a'32 f' }
\override Beam #'gap = #0.33
\repeat tremolo 8 { a'32 f' }
