+
+The command \keyindex{trml}\verb|{|$p$\verb|}|~is used to indicate that the immediately
+following
+quarter or half note (normally at pitch $p$ and with a lower stem) is to be repeated in eighth notes.
+For example,
+\verb|\trml j\ha j|
+generates
+
+\begin{music}\nostartrule
+\startextract
+\NOTes\trml j\ha j\en
+\zendextract
+\end{music}\noindent
+and is an abbreviation for
+
+\begin{music}\nostartrule
+\startextract
+\notes\ibl0j0\qb0{jjj}\tql0j\en
+\zendextract
+\end{music}\noindent
+Similarly, \keyindex{trmu}\verb|{|$p$\verb|}|~generates an eighth-note tremolo
+on a quarter or half note with an \emph{upper} stem:
+
+\begin{music}\nostartrule
+\startextract
+\NOTes\trmu h\ha h\en
+\zendextract
+\end{music}\noindent
+16th-note and 32-note tremolos are similarly generated by
+commands \keyindex{trrml}, \keyindex{trrmu}, \keyindex{trrrml}
+and \keyindex{trrrmu}, as in
+
+\begin{music}
+\nostartrule
+\startextract
+\NOtesp\trrml h\zqlp h\trrmu j\qup j\en
+\Notes\stemlength{6.4}\trrml j\zcl j\trrmu l\cu l\en
+\NOtes\stemlength{6.4}\trrrml h\zql h\trrrmu j\qu j\en
+\endextract
+\end{music}\noindent
+which is coded as
+\begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
+\NOtesp\trrml h\zqlp h\trrmu j\qup j\en
+\Notes\stemlength{6.4}\trrml j\zcl j\trrmu l\cu l\en
+\NOtes\stemlength{6.4}\trrrml h\zql h\trrrmu j\qu j\en
+\end{verbatim}\end{quote}
+The \keyindex{stemlength} command is used to adjust
+stem lengths;
+the new length remains effective to the end of the current notes group.
+If necessary, the usual stem length can be restored by using
+\verb|\stemlength{\DefaultStemlength}|.
+
+
+For \emph{whole} notes, tremolo indications
+should be wider and centered directly over or under the note. These
+are generated by commands \keyindex{Trml}, \keyindex{Trmu}, \keyindex{Trrml},
+\keyindex{Trrmu}, \keyindex{Trrrml} and \keyindex{Trrrmu}; for example,
+
+\begin{music}
+\nostartrule
+\startextract
+\NOTEs\Trml h\zw h\Trmu j\wh j\en
+\bar%
+\NOTEs\Trrml h\zw h\Trrmu j\wh j\en

+
+For all of the commands described in this section, the pitch parameter may be used
+if it is necessary to raise or lower the tremolo indication.
