Hello,

I’m having trouble getting the correct look of my multiple-note tremolos. 
 
I have a half-note tremolo between two notes - measured tremolo with a 32nd note value. The TG Tools easy tremolo gives me three beams all touching both notes. What I’d prefer is that just the 8th note beam touching the notes, and a gap between notes and beams for the 16th- and 32nd-note beams, which I believe to be the correct notation.
 
Is this possible, and if so, how?
 
Many thanks in advance for your response.

Joseph Makholm,

 

1) This is a public forum.

You should not reveal your serial number in a post here.

If I were you, I would edit the post, and remove the serial number.

 

2) What the Easy Tremolos plug-in does, is also accepted as correct notation.

 

3) Finale comes with the TG Tools “Lite” version which is a reduced version of the full TG Tools plug-in collection (let us call it the “Pro” version).

In the “Pro” version the Easy Tremolos plug-in can do the beaming you are asking for, where the 16th and 32nd beams are shortened.

 

4) But wait!

You do not have to purchase the “Pro” version.

A plug-in only does what you can do yourself - “manually”.

The plug-in just does it faster.

You can modify the tremolo layout yourself, with the Special Tools Tool sub-tool Beam Extension Tool.

Double-click the beam handle to get to the Beam Extension Selection where you can choose to extend/shorten only the 16th and 32nd beams.

 

 

If you have many measures filled with tremolos, consider using the Copy Filter to copy only the “Stem and Beam Alterations” to all the other measures.

I cannot succeed in developing tremolos.  Please show me how:  step by step.

Matteo Giammario,

 

Your question is a bit vague.

Are you saying that you can not create tremolos at all?

To get this:

enter ordinary notes, so that you get the noteheads positioned on the correct beats:

Then, run the TG Tools plug-in Easy Tremolos.
