5.8.5 Tremolo repeats

To place tremolo marks between notes, use \repeat with tremolo style

     \new Voice \relative c' {
       \repeat "tremolo" 8 { c16 d16 }
       \repeat "tremolo" 4 { c16 d16 }
       \repeat "tremolo" 2 { c16 d16 }
     }

Tremolo marks can also be put on a single note. In this case, the note should not be surrounded by braces.

     \repeat "tremolo" 4 c'16
