Re: Three-note tremolo in 4/4

[Dijkhuizen, J.F. van]

Hi Lukas,

Thanks so much for this! It does indeed work (though it does indeed also generate a LilyPond warning about "weird stem size").

I'm fairly new to LP and my experiment with timeSignatureFraction et cetera was essentially an attempt to juggle around with the 3-against-4 problem that I was running up against.

Hi Jan,

I'm unsure what you want to accomplish with the manual setting of timeSignatureFraction etc.

But if I understand you correctly, I think

\version "2.22.0"

\new Staff \relative {
  a'4 b c d
  \omit Dots
  \once\override Beam.positions = #'(2 . 1)
  \repeat tremolo 16 { \scaleDurations 2/3 { c32 g f } }
  \undo\omit Dots
  a4 b c d
}

should come close to your MuseScore mockup (and I think its semantic is correct). The manual positioning of Beam positions seems to be necessary, but it makes LilyPond complain with a warning - which could be silenced if push comes to shove.
