Inputting tremolos with the panel

You can input both single-note and multi-note tremolos using the Repeat Structures panel, both during note input and by adding them to existing notes.

Tremolos are included in the Repeat Structures panel because they indicate that notes are repeated, either individually as single-note tremolos or in sequences as multi-note tremolos.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
    • Start note input.

      Tip

      During note input, you can select additional notes before/after the last input note without deactivating the caret by pressing Shift-Right Arrow/Shift-Left Arrow.

    • Select the notes to which you want to add tremolos.

      Note

      If you want to input multi-note tremolos, you must select at least two notes on the same staff or cross-staff notes that have the same notated duration. The notes can also be tuplets.

  2. In the Notations toolbox, click Repeat Structures to show the Repeat Structures panel.
  3. In the Tremolos section, click the button with the number of single-note or multi-note tremolo strokes you want.

    For example, click Two Strokes Single-note Tremolo to input single-note tremolos with two strokes or click Three Strokes Multi-note Tremolo to input multi-note tremolos with three strokes.

Result

Single-note tremolos are input on the selected notes with the number of tremolo strokes specified.

Multi-note tremolos with the number of tremolo strokes specified are input between selected individual notes and the notes immediately after them, or between selected pairs of notes.

When tuplets are selected, multi-note tremolos are input across the selected tuplets, with the tremolo strokes positioned in the center of all notes in the tuplet. The tuplet bracket is hidden, and a signpost is shown at the start of each tuplet indicating its ratio.

Example

After Completing This Task

You can enable independent voice playback for individual instruments, for example, if you have tremolos in one voice and slurs in another voice.
