Tremolo

• Jul 4, 2015 - 22:08

Hi, Gang!!!

I wonder how we could get a tremolo but with a ternary rhythm division.

In the sample I uploaded, we get tremolos but all of them are binary division of the whole note.

I'm talking about to get (for example) a whole note divided into eighteen notes triplets.

OK, I know it can be done entering each note at a time. But I'm talking about to do this with the tremolo function.

Any idea? ???

Greetings!!!

Juan

I want to up this, as this feature would be really useful. Or even to just have the ability to notate it. A dotted quarter in a 4/4 measure with a slash through the stem is a triplet tremolo. Unfortunately, this breaks the beat count in the measure, and so is impossible to even notate in Musescore.

The three is optional, as it usually is with triplets.

Are you saying you'd want a measure of 4/4 to show four dotted quarters with slashes through the stems, as a way of indicating triplets? Is that really conventional? If so, it's worth adding indeed, but I can't recall ever having seen or heard of this.

For now, you could notate this by adding the dots graphically (from the Symbols palette). Or making the dotted quarters into a tuplet

It's standard.

It's come up before here - https://musescore.org/en/node/18347

So yes, it's standard. The numbers are, as with all triplets, optional, although I prefer what exactly the notation done here - put numbers above the first measure, leave them out after.

And... of course. I've figured out how to do them, though it's unintuitive. break up your 4/4 measure into quarters/quavers, make them into triplets. fill the triplets with a dotted quarter. Put on a tremolo slash. The 3 underneath is auto bracketed, weirdly, but it works.

It would be really nice if there were a more user-friendly/intuitive drag'n drop tremolo for triplets and sextuplets, though.

I confirm that it is standard (always with a "3' or "6" marker, at least for the first few notes and generally preceded by a measure or half of fully written out triplets / sextuplets). BTW you can remove the bracket in inspector. That the bracket is there is not odd. It's always there when there is no beam.

I fail to see what is not "intuitive" about the way to do this in Musescore. I can imagine faster ways, but this seems pretty easy to figure out.

A faster way might be attractive for people who work with orchestral music.
