Controlling the appearance of tremolo slashes
Using various properties of the StemTremolo
grob it is possible
to control the appearance of tremolo slashes.
- Property
slope
sets the slope for tremolo slashes.
- Property
shape
determines whether tremolo slashes look like
rectangles (value rectangle
) or like very small beams (value
beam-like
).
- Property
style
sets both the slope and the shape depending on
whether the note has flags, beams, or only a plain stem. This is in
contrast to the previous two properties, which change the slope and
shape unconditionally. There are two styles defined.
-
default
: slashes for down-stem flags are longer and more sloped
than slashes for up-stem flags; slashes on beamed notes have a
rectangular shape and are parallel to the beam.
-
constant
: all slashes are beam-like and have the same slope
except for down-stem flags.
