This works perfectly. Thanks a lot!

some examples:

-----------------------------
\version "2.11.38"
{
\override StemTremolo #'beam-thickness = #0.2
\override StemTremolo #'beam-width = #2
\override StemTremolo #'length-fraction = #0.7
\override StemTremolo #'Y-offset = #1.5
\stemUp b'1:16

\override StemTremolo #'beam-thickness = #0.2
\override StemTremolo #'beam-width = #2
\override StemTremolo #'length-fraction = #0.7
\override StemTremolo #'Y-offset = #-0.8
\stemDown g'1:16

\override StemTremolo #'beam-thickness = #0.2
\override StemTremolo #'beam-width = #2
\override StemTremolo #'length-fraction = #0.7
\override StemTremolo #'Y-offset = #-0.4
\stemUp g'4:16
}
-----------------------------

Adjusting the Y-offset all the time is a bit tedious, but it works.
