Actually, it would not be that hard to implement:
1) make-repeat in scm/music-functions.scm needs to be extended to properly 
scale the durations
2) chord-tremolo-engraver.ly needs to be fixed not to stop the beam after the 
second note
3) The check in chord-tremolo-iterator.cc needs to be removed (the rest is 
already generic)

Cheers,
Reinhold
