Can someone please help identify this weird notation?
I am transcribing a piece of music to practice to, but I have come across a strange note combination. Can someone please tell me what it is called, and how I can enter it into Musescore?
It looks like two dotted minims, within the duration of one dotted minim - but with the beam of a demisemiquaver. (see the attached image)
Thanks!

It is a tremolo, in a style MuseScore does not support.
Though you can still enter it onto your score.
From the handbook:
"In a two note tremolo, every note has the value of the whole tremolo duration. To enter a tremolo with the duration of a half note (minim), enter two normal quarter notes (crotchets), and after applying a tremolo symbol to the first note, the note values automatically double to half notes."
See:

Yes, of course, It just looks different, those tremolo bars don't touch the stems

Yes, I admit, I once again was a bit to brief ;-)
You can fake it, though. Toggle View >Show Invisible to see the work.

Thank you all for your input. I will now try and replicate it.
