What it does
The Easy Tremolos plug-in allows you to
easily create tremolos for display and playback. First enter the notes
so they fit into the measure without the tremolo. The Easy Tremolos plug-in
converts any two consecutive identical pitches into a tremolo. The tremolo’s
note durations are doubled:
Before:
After:
Some options enable fine-tuning tremolo
notation (such as the number of beams). The plug-in can be re-applied
to change the options on an existing tremolo: for example, to change the
number of beams or add playback notes. The plug-in won’t revert tremolos
back to normal notes.
If you want to convert a specific pair
of notes or chords within a measure, use Partial Measure Selection.
- Total
Number of Beams. Enter the number of tremolo beams between the
two pitches.
- Avoid
accidentals on notes with stems. Check this box to have the tremolo
beams avoid any accidentals.
- Create
playback notes. Check this box to have the tremolo written out
for playback in hidden notes in layer 4. (The hidden notes will obscure
the layer 1 notes. If you want to hide layer 4 completely, from the Document
menu, choose Document Options and select Layers. Then, in the Settings
For drop-down
menu, choose Layer 4 and check Hide Layer When Inactive).
- Override
Human Playback. Check this option to apply the settings in this
dialog box if Human Playback is turned on in the Playback Settings dialog box.
- Go
• Close • Defaults • About. Click Go to create or modify tremolos
based on your options and leave the dialog box available for the next
command. Click Close to dismiss the dialog box without making any changes.
Click Defaults to restore the original settings. Click About for more
