Writing a tremolo and tremolando section and immediately running into problems.
Thank you for any help! Would love it if these things were easier.
What do you mean exactly? Could you provide a screenshot?
I would have absolutely NO idea how I was supposed to interpret that 2nd example.
Wouldn’t the correct term be “simile” or “sim.”? “Segue” I’d usually see at the end of a musical theater number giving directions for a transition like “applause segue”.
In my experience ‘Segue’ (“it follows”) is more or less the same as ‘Attacca’: no pause, go on immediately.
Charles_Piano, this is a pretty much what I’m looking for. Might get a little confusing with smaller durations but I think it will do the trick. Can you explain a little further?
The notation from Charles_piano and Derrek is pretty standard within the subgenre I work in, and also I’d make sure to clear it up in the performer’s notes if anyone had any questions 
Is this doable with whole notes? Either way, I would appreciate a little more insight into how you achieved this result.
Yes! Everything depends on the notes values and the number of notes. For a multi‑note tremolo to include more than two notes, the notes need to be inside a tuplet. So you can either create a “real” tuplet (e.g. 3:2) or force a tuplet (e.g. 3:3 or 4:4) if necessary. To get whole notes, the entire value of the tuplet must be a whole note:
Indeed “segue” can mean “attacca”.
According to my old music encyclopedia (printed 1976) “segue” can also mean that the previous directions still apply.
