How Do I Input These Tremolos?

[janisianmitchell]

This is a photo from a hardcopy of the only version of this sheet music, which I’m transcribing. And I don’t know how to recreate this whole note tremolo across two measures.

Can anyone help me, please?

Thank you so much in advance.

You’ll find Tremolos in the Repeats section of the right-hand panel; and you can configure their appearance, as ever, in Engraving Options.

Is this what you want?

[janisianmitchell]

Just added it. Thank you for letting me know!

Is there a way to change the appearance for a solo tremolo?

[benwiggy]

In what way? Engraving Options covers all the built-in appearance options.

I think for this whole-note tremolo, you’ll have to use a hidden tuplet, because tremolos are usually written (as I understand it) as double the note value, so you get two breves for two whole notes!

I’d feel more comfortable keeping each trem in its own measure as being clearer (at least to me).

Create two half notes, then select the tremolo marking you want. Knowing I have the notes in wrong order, nevertheless the result will be:

In engraver options use this setting to achieve the final result (thanks @benwiggy)

In engrave mode you can move start and end into the measure if that’s where you want them.

In engrave mode, you can move the marking

Don’t do that: use the Engraving Options:

I will replace my screenshot with yours to eliminate confusion?
