Tremolo with 3/8 on MuseScore 3
Hi! I would like to seek help on how to notate this tremolo on a 3/8 time signature. I found it difficult to work with the new MuseScore 3. Attached below are photos for reference. What I can only encode is a 16th tremolo between two dotted quarter notes, whereas the old music sheet indicates dotted notes with a connected 16th flag.
I hope someone can help me. Many thanks and stay safe!

First, it isn't clear what you mean by "new MuseScore 3" - it's been out for almost three years now, the and the current revision. But I don't think anything changed about the process of entering tremolo changed since MuseScore 2 or 1 - there are just more options and better rendering now. so for instance, MuseScore 2 didn't support the older-style notation you show here, nor did the original 3.0 release, but the current version (3.6.2) does.
The process is the same as it has always been: enter the two notes at half the desired duration (so they add up to what you want) then add the tremolo from the palette. Looks like you've successfully done that, so presumably you can see it works exactly as it always had. Now that you have a current version of MuseScore, you can easily convert that to the older notation shown in your image, just select the tremolo, go to the Inspector, and change the Style to Traditional.

Maybe I'm forgetting something (?), or if it's an intended limitation (or an issue?), but I notice that this option Traditional in Inspector is not available for notes with beams (eg: eighth notes, or dotted eighth notes, separated or not, that's why it doesn't work in 3/8, for example)

AFAIK that is an intended restriction.

To avoid confusion with actual dotted 1/16ths for example.

Ah, good point! So, do we in fact now these are meant to be tremolo? Maybe they really are actual dotted sixteenth. Although looking more closely at the image of the original, seems the dots are weirdly positioned as well
