Hi Christopher,
I just checked and Gardner Read also agrees. Not that I don't trust you. :)
I used to notate tremelos this way until a question came up in a
session a few years back and the guidelines I mentioned earlier were
offered to me. Thanks for the clarification.

Hey man, sometimes I don't even trust myself! Not a problem.

My experience is more limited than others, but I've read a lot of
string music. Three slashes will ALWAYS get you an unmeasured
tremolo at any speed on any note value. One slash will always get
you double the notes notated (i.e. single-slashed quarter means 2
8ths, etc.).
I have never seen
not possible, since the centre point is right / centre of the
notehead according to context, you will have to set a separate
tremolo for whole notes.
the default positioning is end of stem, i adjusted all mine to be
positioned from the notehead, measn less fussing in the end, and
tremolo
Strictly speaking, the tremolo on eighth notes is supposed to be TWO
slashes (the beam is the first slash), so I haven't run into this
problem. I also use the Bill Duncan single, double and triple
slashes, which position very well for me (except on stems that have
been shortened because of
Sorry, I misread stemmed for beamed. Chalk it up to senior brain.
But I still have Bill Duncan's Articulations font that has a separate
3-slash tremolo for whole notes that is slightly wider. Saves a lot
of problems.

Thanks, Jef.
Basically what I've been doing, but I'll check out your numbers and
see how everything looks. I didn't think it could be boiled down to
using one tremelo but all of a sudden it seemed like a good idea to
ask here.
BTW, where do you select positioning from the notehead? I never

Hi Christopher,
String players have told me two slashes on an 8th (one on a 16th,
etc.) indicate a measured tremelo, and three slashes indicate
unmeasured. In slower tempos, with more beams, I suppose the part
would start looking pretty busy so I guess you could write
unmeasured on the part.

With total respect for you and your string-playing colleagues, but I
think you are mistaken according to traditional practice.
Kurt Stone says that from 2 (in fast tempos) to 4 (in slow tempos)
slashes can be used to convey an unmeasured tremolo, and while he
doesn't say it in text, he has
