Hello all.

I've been fiddling with Lilypond for a few weeks now.  Today, for the first time I 
started using it to actually typset some music that people will look at.

I think I've run into a bug, or maybe something I don't understand.  According to the 
Norton Manual of Music Notation a tremolo, so called 'fingered',  is written as 2 
notes and the duration of the trmolo is equal to the duration of _one_ of those notes. 
 The code below does almost what I need.  My comments are included.  
Why can't I fit those 2 tremolos in the same (3/4) measure?
I need a half note tremolo and quarter note within the same measure.

\header {
  title = "Tremolo"
}

\score {
  \notes\relative c' {
        \time 3/4
  \repeat tremolo 8 {c16 e}
        % if my understanding is correct trmolo 8 means 3 beams.
        % 4 = 2beams, however, I noticed that the value of the note seems to be 
growing? how do I come up with the proper values?
        % c16 makes it a half note
        % d32 quarter ? and so on?
  \repeat tremolo 8 {d32 f}
  }
} 

oh, this is lilypond 1.6.4 (compiled from sources) on powerpc-unknown, debian woody 
2.4.18.

Best regards,
