Parallell single note tremolos on beamed notes
There should be an option (maybe a tick box to have both options) to place tremolos as sections of the next higher beam, preserving the beam thickness and spacing of the score settings. I would also appreciate any workaround suggestions, even if they are purely visual.
I have an image of what it should look like, but using default musescore.

You have that image, bur we don't. How about showing us what you mean? (A picture is worth a thousand words.)

Sorry. I was certain I had it attached. It even showed up on the preview. Strange.
If you are talking about the old-style notation often seen in 19th century manuscripts that looks kind of like sixteenth notes but with half note heads, you can get that using the "traditional" setting for the tremolo in the Inspector.
If that's not what you mean, please attach an image of what you are looking for.

I mean the tremolo through stem. I’ve attached the image now.

Should work to simply add the single-stroke tremolo. If you mean the beam angle doesn’t match, you could adjust the beam by clicking it and using the handles. Not sure that’s standard, though.

But it’s the tremolos that need to adjust to he beam.

Why, though? As I said, that wouldn't be standard, and might well confuse people accustomed to standard notation in which the tremolo stroke is normally the same fixed angle. If you do have some unusual special requirement to make the angle match, better to adjust the beam, since the rules of notation don't normally require the beam to be a specific angle, so people wouldn't be confused if you changed it.
if on the other hand you really have some unusual special situation that requires the tremolo itself to be at a non-standard angle, you could create it in a drawing program and paste it in as a graphic.

I mean…I was under the impression that this would be the logical next step after you guys fixed the connected tremolo beams on half notes. It’s just a shame we can’t replicate a standard that’s so aesthetically pleasing.

My point is that it is not a standard. Which published reference have you found that says this should be done? All the sources I see, including Gould, use fixed-angle strokes. If there truly is an alternate standard that calls for the stroke angle to vary with beam angle, it could certainly be considered as an option for the future. Can you post a link to the standard in question, so we can understand better?

Here it is with invisible shown for anyone wondering. I used a 2:1 tuplet (not 1:2). It preserves playback if you keep the real tremolos invisible.

The image was meant to be the only example of when MuseScore is correct. Everything otherwise is incorrect.
