Description

Your idea

A special window for advanced tremolo options the user can open after right-clicking a tremolo.

The window could contain something like this... Keep in mind I am not a designer :)


☐ Measured ☐ Unmeasured ☐ Sustain sound (e.g. closed roll)

☐ Skeleton/rate control:

Notation appearance:

Playback:

The user would need to be able to edit the playback image in the same way as writing rhythms and adding articulations/metered tremolo. Perhaps even MIDI pitches and CC controls as well.

Problem to be solved

Across percussion music, there are various philosophies and playback expectations for tremolos/rolls.
A good example would be rudimental vs concert snare drumming, but there are other examples as well.
To accommodate more users writing for percussion, they need to be able to establish their own rules for tremolo notation and playback.

Prior art

No response

Additional context

Settings should be able to be copied and pasted throughout the score. But new tremolos would likely need to be set to default when they are written from scratch.
