Adding tremolos
In bars 8 and 12 in the verse, the vocal part stops early in the bar. To fill in the space a little, you can add tremolos to the drum set part.
Procedure
-
In bar 8, select the quarter notes (crotchets) on the drum set staff.
- Press Shift-R to open the repeats popover.
-
Enter /// into the popover.
- Press Return to close the popover.
Result
Three stroke single-stem tremolos are input on the selected notes.
Tip
You can also add tremolos using the Repeat Structures panel on the right of the window, which you can show by clicking Repeat Structures in the Notations toolbox. Tremolos are included in the Repeat Structures panel because they indicate that notes should be repeated within the given duration.
