See section 1.4.2 Short Repeats: 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.
There are two ways to put tremolo marks on a single note. The \repeat tremolo syntax is also used here, in which case the note should not be surrounded by braces > The only difference between these two is the unfold/tremolo, so why > do they render differently? > \version "2.11.65" > > \relative c' { > \scaleDurations #'(2 . 3) { > \repeat tremolo 9 <c e g>8 \repeat tremolo 3 <c e fis>8 > \repeat unfold 4 { \repeat tremolo 3 <c d fis>8 } > } > } > \relative c' { > \scaleDurations #'(2 . 3) { > \repeat unfold 9 <c e g>8 \repeat unfold 3 <c e fis>8 > \repeat unfold 4 { \repeat unfold 3 <c d fis>8 } > } > } Toine Schreurs _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
