Hello, is there someone familiar with the code for the incipit in http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=582 ? The incpits work wonderfully - until I try to put in many pauses. Then the spacing is just awful, all the pauses are far away from each other. You can actually see this in the snippet where

Tremolo mark between piano staves

How can I make an unmeasured tremolo mark (three slanted lines) between two staves to indicate a trill with two chords, one for each hand? What can be tweaked to move the marking up or down? I have seen this use in the piano part of Messiaen's Quator pour la fin du temps. Thanks. Qian

Since the piece in question, Malaguena, already has mixed monophony and polyphony, as well as tablature, adding voices to it doesn't seem like a very good idea. Yes, I'm aware that ,\\ is shorthand for voicing, but since it is shorthand, the visual complexity of the score is kept to a readable
