You can use a stem slash marking to represent repeated rhythmic gures (as in the eighth-note example below). At 32nd-
note speed, this produces a tremolo (tremolando) eect that also serves as the basis for ngered tremolos (shakes).
The tremolo marks on the left are equivalent to the notes on the right.
Rhythmic Shortcuts and Tremolando
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. To place the mark you want on your Music Cursor either:
> Press / once for one (8th note), twice for two (16th note), or three times for three (32nd note; tremolando) stem
slashes, or

marks that appear on note stems (upper right).
3. Place your Music Cursor on a note needing the shortcut.

Fingered Tremolos (Shakes)
A tremolo between two alternating notes is a ngered tremolo or shake. From the standpoint of playback, you can
create a major second, minor second, major third, minor third, or perfect fourth ngered tremolos. On a score,
this has a unique symbol: two notes of the same time value has one to three lines between them (almost like
beams, but not touching either note). The total measure count of the two notes is the count of one of them.
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. Either:
> Press Shift + / (the ? character), once for 8th-note speed, twice for 16th-note speed, or three times for 32nd-note
speed of ngered tremolo, or
> In the Entry Palette, hover over the middle pane and select one, two, or three shake
symbols (right-hand end, lower group).
3. Place your Music Cursor over the stem of the left note.
4. Either click your mouse or press Enter.
» Notion adds the ngered tremolo mark between the two notes.
