Tremolos
Tremolos are thick, slanted lines that cross individual stems or are positioned between multiple stems. They are used to indicate that notes are repeated, either individually or in sequences of multiple notes.
Tremolos in playback
You can control the playback of unmeasured tremolos by specifying the minimum number of tremolo strokes that are interpreted as unmeasured tremolos. This considers both the number of tremolo strokes and the number of beam lines that would be used for the note.
Changing the duration of tremolos in playback
You can change both the default length of each note in unmeasured tremolos in playback, and the minimum number of tremolo strokes required to indicate tremolos should be unmeasured in playback.
