Description

Issue type

UI bug

Bug description

In the tremolos palette there are options like “32nd through stem” and “32nd between notes”. These don’t produce 32nd tremolos but tremolos with three beams which is something different for eighth and shorter notes.

Two possible solutions for this:

  1. The palette tool tips should read “3 tremolo beams through stem” and “3 tremolo beams between notes”.
  2. The 32nd tremolos should produce less beams for short notes.

I’d strongly prefer the second option because then you can just add a tremolo of constant speed to a longer section of music containing different durations. This is why I marked this as an UI bug instead of engraving bug.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Write a rhythm containing different durations (containing eighth notes or shorter).
  2. Add stem tremolos or between note tremolos.
