When tremolo beams between whole notes don't work good, try to specify
directions of implicit stems of whole notes.
%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.22.0"
upper = { s1 s }
lower = {
\clef treble
\override Beam.gap = 3 % a way to fix 2)
\repeat tremolo 8 { \stemUp c''''16 \change Staff = "upper" \stemDown c''''16
}
\break s1
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%
If you want to improve the beam slope, probably overriding beam positions is
needed.

Hello,
I'm experiencing strange beams on cross-staff tremolos on whole notes.
The beam in the below snippet: 1) is not placed at the middle of the two notes
and 2) it is too close to the ledger lines.
Is this expected?
Is there a way to fix 1) + 2) without \tweak(ing)?
thanks,
P

The only way I know to fix this is by overriding beam positions. In
this case, doing so produces a warning, which I have suppressed.
%%%
\version "2.22.0"
upper = { s1 }
lower = {
\clef treble
\override Beam.positions = #'(10 . 11)
#(ly:expect-warning (_ "weird stem size, check for narrow beams"))
\repeat tremolo 8 { c''''16 \change Staff = "upper" c''''16 }
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
}
