Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
The following image should be pretty self-explanatory:
Any beaming in cross-staff notation has three ways to be rendered in MS: beaming between the staves, beaming over the upper staff, beaming below the lower staff (all reachable by simply pressing X).
As you can you see, tremolo only allows the beaming between staves; pressing X results in the stems vanishing and tremolo dashes shortening.
This happens with all durations. With whole notes, of course flipping only results in the tremolo dashes to shorten:

For reference, this is what you can easily find in published scores:
[This is an old edition which is far from perfect, and in this specific case the cross-staff is definitely not necessary... but that's not the point, clearly.]
