Musically, two-note tremolos with twice the same note don't make any sense at all, but for demonstrating the gap size behaviour, I nevertheless chose these configurations. And it was only by chance that I became aware of the unexpected gap size implementation when experimenting with whole-note tremolos.

These configurations with one beam attached came quite handy for the gap comparisons (and you noticed the incorrect full beam in my example image, so it is good for testing, too). In your example, the black noteheads could be mistaken as quavers without floating beams, but minims usually use full beams for tremolos. But you can set the number of floating beams (i.e. gapped beams) using the gap-count property: %%%%%% { \repeat tremolo 8 { e''32 f'' } \override Beam.gap-count = #1 \repeat tremolo 8 { e''32 f'' } \override Beam.gap-count = #2 \repeat tremolo 8 { e''32 f'' } \override Beam.gap-count = #3 \repeat tremolo 8 { e''32 f'' } } %%%%%% <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/tremolo-gap-count.png> Cheers, Torsten tremolo-gap-count.png <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/tremolo-gap-count.png> -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html
