Here are tremolos from a song I wrote in MuseScore 3.6:

And when I import the score into MuseScore 4.0, I get this:

Although I like a lot of the engraving improvements, there are some changes I don't like. I am bothered by the off-centered location of tremolos in the new MuseScore 4. I understand this engraving reflects some rules on tremolos and invisible stems (see https://musescore.org/en/node/306442), but I would like to have the option of tremolos to be in between notes as in MuseScore 3.6. I consider this a regression because although I can get the MuseScore 4-style tremolos in 3.6 by flipping the note direction of one of the notes, in MS 4 I'm stuck with these invisible-beam tremolos, even if I try to flip the note directions. As score-writers, we should have the final option of choosing how we would like our tremolos to appear. Therefore I would like the in-between notes option of tremolos from 3.6 to be preserved in 4.0 (it doesn't have to be the default style, but should be an option).
