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
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!
