@node Tremolo repeats
@subsubsection Tremolo repeats
+Tremolos can take two forms: alternation between two chords or two
+notes, and rapid repetition of a single
+note or chord. Tremolos consisting of an alternation are indicated by
+adding beams between the notes or chords being alternated, while
+tremolos consisting of the rapid repetition of a single note are
+indicated by adding beams or slashes to a single note.
+
@cindex tremolo beams
To place tremolo marks between notes, use @code{\repeat} with
tremolo style:
@lilypond[quote,verbatim,ragged-right]
-\new Voice \relative c' {
- \repeat tremolo 8 { c16 d16 }
- \repeat tremolo 4 { c16 d16 }
