Written tremelo notation special characters

Hi there gang,

I could use some guidance with figuring out how to achieve this pattern shown below. The time signature is 3/4 and these are shorthand indications for trem. I would like to present this in my chart the same way. I have tried forcing to dotted 8ths, but not sure that’s how it’s done to get the non enclosed notehead? ALso, I would like for it to play back correctly.
Thoughts?

See this recent similar thread. Unfortunately, the thread title is misleading
so search won’t help.

First enter this (with Force Duration for the second bar):

Then apply tremolos (Shift+R, “12”) to each pair of notes.

This option must be chosen in Engraving options:

Ah, That’s it! I was getting the broken beam on the bottom. The special multi-note trem setting was what did the trick. Beautiful! Thanks!

One more unusual one… How bout this fella? I tried clicking in second option-Outermost line joins, but it only gives me option 1 as a result?

It works here, with option 2

Just type “22” in the popover.

“12” = 1 stroke, 2 notes
“22” = 2 strokes, 2 notes

Ok, got it!!! I should have realized that. I have notation express which helps from time to time. I’m use to doing these with mallet rolls but never join beams. Thanks again!
