Tremolo question
The tremolo construct \clef bass \repeat tremolo 8 { bf,16 bf' } produces the output: [image: Inline image 1] is there a setting that can angle the tremolo so that the left end is closer to the lower note?

Repeat tremolo question
Hello folks, The LPNR gives as example: \relative c'' { \repeat tremolo 8 { c16 d } \repeat tremolo 6 { c16 d } \repeat tremolo 2 { c16 d } } I found by experimenting with 2.19.55 that chords can be used in such tremolos. The doc doesn’t explicitly exclude unequal durations, such as: \repeat tremolo 8 { c16 d8 } Is that meaningful from a musical point of view? Should the doc mention that case, either positively or negatively? Thanks for your help! JM ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Mike, Do you mean you want it on an angle or just shifted left? Andrew ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You want a slant or actually closer to the note itself? I think what you had was close...

tremolo: 4/4 time, 2 half notes, single-slash tremolo question
Hi; I was able to generate two half-note, single-slashed tremolos in 4/4 time using the colon syntax, but do not understand how to get the same effect with the repeat tremolo syntax: \repeat tremolo 2 8 \repeat tremolo 2 8 | % m01 2:8 q:8 | % m02 bar #2 is correct where bar #1 results in the following bar check warning: Swan_Lake.ly:110:64: warning: barcheck failed at: 1/2 \repeat tremolo 2 8 \repeat tremolo 2 8 | % m01 I'd like to use the repeat tremolo syntax because I'd like midi output to reflect the tremolo where the colon syntax is not understood for midi output. I'm apparently not doing the math correctly. 4/4 time, half notes, two 8th note tremolos Thanks, Ken Wolcott
tremolo question; don't understand how to apply the manual to my situation
Hi; I have a tremolo question. 4/4 time bass clef (piano part) polyphony apparently required two half notes, the first half note is in both voices I don't understand the tremolo repeat section in the manual, and definitely not when it comes to this situation. See attached screenshot. Here's my code (without the tremolo) for this measure (bass clef only): << { e,2 e | } % tremolo?? \\ { e,2 ~ e,4 r | } >> % m17 Thanks, Ken Wolcott
Re: tremolo: 4/4 time, 2 half notes, single-slash tremolo question
Hey Kenneth, I think you may want to write `\repeat tremolo 4` instead of 2, because that will signify four repeating eighth notes, which will result in the time of a half note...unless i am misunderstanding.

Hi William; Thank you! That is exactly what I needed. I still don't have the formula down pat, but I'll work on it until it is automatically correct.

Re: tremolo: 4/4 time, 2 half notes, single-slash tremolo question
Great, glad you could get it working Kenneth. Speaking for myself, I found it easiest to think of \repeat tremolo in the same way as the other \repeat commands... the first number is how many times the note repeats. -William On 7/18/22 20:44, Kenneth Wolcott wrote: Hi William; Thank you!

tremolo: 3/4 time, one dotted-half note chord, double-slash tremolo question
Hi; I'm still do not understand the math (I'd like to generate a formula!) for tremolos. I have a tremolo that I'd like to engrave in 3/4 time, one dotted-half note chord, double-slashed. I'd like to use the repeat tremolo syntax so that I can obtain midi output (without using the articulate feature). Please see attached screenshot. Thanks, Ken Wolcott
Re: tremolo: 3/4 time, one dotted-half note chord, double-slash tremolo question
Hey Ken, For a tremolo on a single repeating note you can use this other syntax: \version "2.24.0" \relative d' { \time 3/4 d2.:16 } -will On 12/19/22 20:41, Kenneth Wolcott wrote: Hi; I'm still do not understand the math (I'd like to generate a formula!) for tremolos.

Re: tremolo: 3/4 time, one dotted-half note chord, double-slash tremolo question
Le 20/12/2022 à 02:41, Kenneth Wolcott a écrit : I'm still do not understand the math (I'd like to generate a formula!) for tremolos. I also remained confused by this for a long time till I understood that the rules are pretty simple. The thing to keep in mind is that \repeat tremolo and : don't work the same. The rules are: - The appearance of the notes in a tremolo determines the total duration. (Even if there are two notes, they count for this duration once.) - The beaming of the notes determines the duration of the notes in the fully developed form where you replace the tremolo notation with actual repeated notes, like \unfoldRepeats does. - The number passed to \repeat tremolo is the number of times the pattern is repeated. - In the syntax :, the is the total tremolo duration, and is the duration of one note in the developed form. So your tremolo can be written as \relative d' { \time 3/4 d2.:16 } as William suggested, or \relative d' { \time 3/4 \repeat tremolo 12 d16 } since "duration of dotted half note / duration of sixteenth note = 12".
