Can't help with the answer, but in a case like this I suggest that you tell us whether you are talking about a measured BOW tremolo or a measured FINGER tremolo. Yes, both exist.
I know both exist, and as far as I know, both measured bow and measured finger tremolos are string idioms. While it is possible that one or the other may apply in the string parts, I don't know which, as the current project involves the keyboard reduction of the original orchestral score. The notational figure employed involves two half notes in the space of one, joined by sixteenth note beams. Creating the printable version in 2k is trivial, and made even more so by the fact that the documentation provides step by step instruction. The issue for my client was getting the playback to sound like what it was supposed to be--alternating sixteenth note pitches. The solution my client and I finally decided was best in the present circumstance was to put the notes as we wanted them to sound in one staff, and hide that staff, and leave the notes as we wanted them to appear on the printed page on the visible staff. In later versions (at least from 2k3 [and maybe from 2k1, but while I own 2k1 and 2k2, I do not presently have active installations of those version]), it is possible to play back hidden notes; in 2k, the only way to achieve playback of a hidden note seems to be if its on a staff hidden is by selecting and setting "hide staff" attribute in the staff attributes dialog.
