Re: Whole note tremolo repeats - bug ?

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.

Many thanks - I still think someone should have a look at the default 
behavior in this type of situation.
