Multi-note tremolo beams

Is there a way to replicate in Dorico exactly the beaming for these multi-note tremolos in this Ravel piece (in 9/8th)? I tried hard but if it can’t be done, that’s okay for now. See images.

Check the various options under Library→Engraving Options→Tremolos

A tricky way, with two voices for beats 2 & 3.

(2nd violin part) Enter this, with a 6:12x and a 3:6x tuplets (and force duration):
Edit: it works also with a single 9:18x tuplet

Add the tremolos:

And again 22 and 22 for the next two ones. Result:

It’s OK but we miss the beams for beats 2 and 3.

Let’s add an unisson voice (just eights notes without tuplets):

Then remove the rests, put both voices down stem, voice 2 in voice column index 0, and adjust the beams:

I did try these options but it didn’t change the beaming issue. Thanks anyway!

Wow! Thank you for effort and time to explaining this step-by-step and make it work! Much appreciated!
