Hi Kieran,
Why should it look like the scan?
That is, what engraving reference (e.g., Gardner Read) do you have
which indicates that the tremolo should be inside the staff?
I do not have any engraving reference; however I am going by 20+ years
of experience playing music (this sort of thing shows up in orchestral
violin parts often). I have never seen something like the typesetting
produced by lilypond. Also, beams are always typeset within the staff;
logic suggests the tremolo beams should be the same.
I can say without a doubt that the lilypond output would be considered
incorrect (and hard to read) by musicians. If there is an engraving
reference that says otherwise, I would be very surprised. However, I'm
afraid I will have to leave it to someone else to look this up.
Try
\override StemTremolo #'Y-offset = #-5.5 c''''1:16
Hope this helps!
Many thanks - I still think someone should have a look at the default
behavior in this type of situation.
Lasse
