Hi Curt,
I would definitely use #2 and #3 alternatingly, depending on the context.
What I like especially about #3 are the alternating stem directions, which immediately tell me (as a pianist, not as a typographer) your idea. Maybe you could incorporate this in #2 also, even if it might use somewhat more vertical space? The patterns with all-down stems in #1, #2 and #4 _seem_ to suggest that the left hand part is considerably lower than the right hand, and are therefore somewhat irritating for me.
Best
Urs
PS: And yes, please leave out (most of) the fingerings. You may print the "1 2" at the beginning of the right hand, and you may suggest the "3" for the melody. But the rest is really superfluous (and therefore disturbing). You can't (and don't have to) tell which fingering a pianist might chose for the left hand.

Hi, I am very torn about how to notate a piano figure of a simple piano prelude I wrote. Below are four screenshot snippets of the figure in question (the entire prelude is made up of such figures). Can someone help recommend the best approach or suggest an improvement? I can forward source for any of them if anyone needs it.
Thanks,Curt
#1 - what I started with, but it just takes up so much space (four bars in)
#2 - treble clef (sample of those four bars in a different file)
#3 - bass clef
#4 - tremolos, with four additional bars
