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.

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, choose Document > Document Options and select Layers. Then, in the Settings For drop-down menu, choose Layer 4 and select 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 • Cancel • Defaults • About. Click GO to create or modify tremolos based on your options and leave the dialog box available for the next command. Click Cancel to dismiss the dialog box without making any changes. Click Defaults to restore the original settings. Click About for more information about the complete TGTools plug-in collection.
