Happy holidays, everyone!
I noticed a question in a different forum about the placement of a fermata relative to a beamed tremolo. The attached image shows three possible scenarios for this, but it was a pretty unanimous vote that measure 2 was correct.
Intrigued, I wondered how LP would respond to this so I tried:
{
\repeat tremolo 16 { a'32 c'' } \fermata
}
but this resulted in an error (which I can understand). So, the only (kinda good) solution I could think of for this is to add a spacer grace note and attach the fermata to that:
{
\repeat tremolo 16 { a'32 \grace { s8 \fermata } c''32 }
}
This works alright, but my guess that in actual use I'd have to adjust the horizontal position once I've spaced everything else out. Any other nice ideas to center-align the fermata on the tremolo beams?
The recommended alternative solution (in case a notation program couldn't do it like measure 2) is measure 3 where you only put a fermata on the first note. LP has no problem with that one.
Best,
Abraham
