Changing the number of tremolo strokes on individual notes in tie chains

Dorico Pro automatically changes the number of tremolo strokes on subsequent notes in tie chains according to their duration, but you can manually change the number of single-note tremolo strokes shown on each note in tie chains individually to represent your intended rhythm.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the noteheads of the notes whose number of tremolo strokes you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Single stem tremolo in the Notes and Rests group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:
    • None

    • One stroke

    • Two strokes

    • Three strokes

    • Four strokes

    • Buzz roll

Result

The number of tremolo strokes shown on the selected notes is changed.
