dotted half-note with double beam

• Jan 3, 2024 - 21:04

In Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 4, 1st movement ("Allegro molto con brio"), measure 288 (if I have counted correctly :-) has an odd symbol: the measure of 6/8 contains two half-notes (are they also called "minim"?) joined by a double beam as if they were 16th notes. (See the screenshot)

A) What does this mean in terms of performance? (I have a guess, but ...)
B) Can I duplicate this notation in MS? (I think I know how, but ...)
C) Can I get it to PLAY what it's supposed to? (I have still another guess, but ...)

Ohhhhhh, now I see it. You have to use the "between notes" tremolo option. I hadn't realized there were the two possibilities. And that fixed it all.

Enter two dotted quarter-notes. Select the "16th between notes" option. Then set the display options for "style between notes". That's got it!!!

T1E6!!!
