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.

For example, to change the value in the value field to set the default length to 0.5 seconds, enter 1 into the value field for Default unmeasured tremolo length in the Tremolos section on the Timing page in Play > Playback Options.

Tip

If you hover over either of the arrows beside the Default unmeasured tremolo length value field, a small box appears that displays the current fraction as a decimal.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-P to open Playback Options.
  2. Click Timing in the page list.
  3. Optional: In the Tremolos section, change the value for Minimum number of strokes for playback of unmeasured tremolos.
  4. Change the value for Default unmeasured tremolo length.

    For example, to set the default length of unmeasured tremolo notes to 0.5 seconds, change the value to 1.
