Description

Your idea

At the moment, the longest note that can be set in the editor is a longa. But there is also a maxima note, which is twice as long as a longa and contains 8 whole notes. It is known that if you set a tremolo between two notes, they will both double in duration. If you do this with longs, you will get two painted notes without a stem. Is this how maxims look? And yes, if maxims can be set and a tremolo can be formed between them, what will happen? We need to somehow solve this problem. I think that we should stop at the maxima and show a note twice as long as it only in a tremolo between two maxims, but without giving the opportunity to set it separately. What will such a note look like? I can't imagine. Or you can simply not give the opportunity to form a tremolo between two maxims. But although this will somehow not be cool.

Problem to be solved

My idea would allow using the maxim note (including).
