Re: Tremolos between two whole notes

As far as getting the look you want, you need to use a combination of
Beam #'gap, Beam #'positions, Beam #'extra-offset, and NoteHead
#'stem-attachment.  I've gotten very nice results with those
overrides.  It's a pain, but it's worth avoiding the horrible default.

Hope that helps,
Neil
