Lilypond beams are 0.48 staff spaces by default, which is half of the space between staff lines. In the code I produced I reduced the thickness by about 25%, to 0.4 staff spaces. Harm had suggested even thinner lines, at 0.35 staff spaces. Gould is explicit that the separation for the tremolo lines is the same as the separation for beams, with one possible exception -- she suggests that when there are two tremolo lines, they should both be centered on adjacent staff lines. Beams should be hanging from the top, and centered on the bottom. At any rate, her explicit recommendation is that the spacing should *not* be reduced, and the reduction in line thickness increases the amount of white space between the lines. > >> 4) For notes on a staff line, the tremolo line closest to the heads >> centered on a staff space.

I have not yet worked on the code to change the slash placement on stemmed notes. The problems with the stemmed note slashes are more severe than on the whole note slashes. But the code for the whole notes was easier to work on for an initial patch. My plan was to handle the whole-note tremolos first, and make sure I got the spacing rules right, then figure out how to apply the spacing rules properly to the stemmed-note tremolos. Gould says that whole-note tremolos should be applied as if the note had a stem, so I'm comfortable doing the initial work on whole notes, then moving it to stemmed notes.
