Tuplet tremolos

• Jul 5, 2019 - 19:35

Hi,

Is there a way to write the following (see attachment) in tremolo form? I've tried lots of different things (I've been reading other MS forum posts about similar questions) but none seemed to work. Anyone know what i could do?

Thanks.

I can't think of a way offhand if you absolutely need it to be 100% clear about the number of repetitions, and playback as such. If it were me, I'd write the figure out once to make that explictly, then just use regular tremolos after that.

Edited: I just realized those are 32nd notes, not 16th notes.

create a 1/8 note and turn them into sextuplets (ctrl+6). Turn each into two dotted 1/16 note (press 3 then . ) and make the first a C# and the second an A. Use the tremolo (32nd) between notes and you will have the tremolo you want. You can select the entire tremolo (click one note shift+click the other) and press R to duplicate this. When you get to the A#, select it and press the up arrow (assuming there are sharps in the key signature) and press j if you get a Bb to turn it into an A#. You can then select it again and press R to duplicate it and so on until the tremolo section is done.
