3.8.4 Tremolo repeats

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

     \score {
       \context Voice \notes\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

A similar mechanism is the tremolo subdivision, described in Tremolo subdivisions.
