See section 1.4.2 Short Repeats:
The \repeat tremolo syntax expects exactly two notes within the
braces, and the number of repetitions must correspond to a note
value that can be expressed with plain or dotted notes. Thus,
\repeat tremolo 7 is valid and produces a double dotted note, but
\repeat tremolo 9 is not.
There are two ways to put tremolo marks on a single note. The
\repeat tremolo syntax is also used here, in which case the note
should not be surrounded by braces
The only difference between these two is the unfold/tremolo, so why
do they render differently?
