Tremolos between two whole notes

[Brent Annable]

Hello everyone,

I have a question, and perhaps a suggestion. I just typeset the following tremolo between two whole notes:

\score {

\relative c'' {

\repeat tremolo 16  { gis32 b }

}

}

and was quite disappointed by the fact that Lilypond places the tremolo beams horizontally and above the notes in question. I much prefer the look of the first tremolo in this image:

with the beams tilted and occupying the space in-between the whole notes. I read through the manual and searched for some snippets, but couldn't find any reference to this tremolo style at all. Is there any relatively simple way of achieving this look that I'm missing? And if not, could a tremolo style option perhaps be added for those who prefer them this way?

Brent.
