The docs are a bit lacking on this, but the StemTremolo object is only
used for tremolos on single notes, whereas chord tremolos are Beam
objects created by the Chord_tremolo_engraver.  Like normal beamed
notes, you can flip them using \stemDown.

There's no equivalent to 'slope for chord tremolos, so you'll have to
use 'rotation to tilt it slightly.
