#### 3.8.4 Tremolo repeats

To place tremolo marks between notes, use `\repeat` with tremolo style

>          \score {
>            \context Voice \notes\relative c' {
>              \repeat "tremolo" 8 { c16 d16 }
>              \repeat "tremolo" 4 { c16 d16 }
>              \repeat "tremolo" 2 { c16 d16 }
>            }
>          }

Tremolo marks can also be put on a single note. In this case, the note should not be surrounded by braces.

>          \repeat "tremolo" 4 c'16

A similar mechanism is the tremolo subdivision, described in Tremolo subdivisions.
