Ahm, you don't want a time signature of 4/1! In tremolo notation, each note is 
displayed in the duration of the whole tremolo. In your example, the tromolo 
only last for four quarters (so each of the notes is shown as a whole).

In Lilypond 2.13.x multi-note tremolos are supported natively:

\version "2.13.41"
\relative c' {
  \repeat "tremolo" 4 { e16 g c g }
  \repeat "tremolo" 4 { e16 a c a }
  \repeat "tremolo" 4 { f16 a c a }
}

In 2.12.x there is no way I'm aware of to produce what you want.

Cheers,
Reinhold
