tremolos in tablature

[Patrick Schmidt]

Hi all,

in the following example misplaced tremolos appear in tablature  
without \tabFullNotation. With \tabFullNotation the symbols are  
placed correctly but IMO in both cases the tremolo symbols are too  
massive in tablature (see attached pngs).

\version "2.13.30"

music = {
  <c e g c' e'>4:16
  \stemUp
  \repeat tremolo 4 c'16
  \repeat tremolo 2 { c16 d }
  \repeat tremolo 4 { <c d>16 }
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \clef "treble_8"
      \music
    }
    \new TabStaff {
      %\tabFullNotation
      \music
    }
  >>
}

This seems to be a bug.

Workaround(s):
1) Use

\override TabVoice.StemTremolo #'transparent = ##t

within a TabStaff.

2) Insert

\layout {
    \context {
      \TabVoice
      \remove Stem_engraver
    }
  }
at the end of the score block. This also removes the unwanted tremolo  
symbols in normal tablature but – as a side effect – shortens the  
tremolo symbol between two notes in standard notation (in this  
example between c and d). Why does this happen?
