Hello community,

I've begun my first piano score in Lilypond after studying
soundsfromsound's great introduction series. This code shows my problem:

\version "2.22.0"

\language "english"
\relative
{\time 3/4\clef bass
 \repeat tremolo 12 {b,32 ds} |
 \repeat tremolo 12 { <<b32 fs'>> <<b ds>> } |
}

The first measure is just as I'd expect, with two beamed dotted notes. The
second measure is messier. There is no beam, and the tremolo covers other
elements like the dot on the low B. The lilypond log says:

I would like to make this measure look like the first, with two chords
beamed together. I also have use for this version without the beam, if I
could figure out how to get the tremolo out of the way of the dots. Any
help is much appreciated on either of these fronts. Thank you all for your
time,

Colin
