Tremolo between two notes in Finale Notepad 2008 - HOW?

[Bespinben]

Just as title says. I'd really rather not clutter up my score with a bunch of 32nd notes alternating back and forth. Also, I am not referring to trills; I am speaking of rapid alternations between two distanced notes. I just can't figure out how to do it, even after looking at the user manual. If anyone has experience with this, please share with me the solution. Thanks!

I don't think it's possible in any version of notepad. I don't know about the other versions but finale 2011 can do it with plug-ins.

BUMP! Is it possible to do this with printmusic 2010? If so, how?

I don't know how to/what that is. Just to be clear I just need it to look right, not necessarily play right.
I need it to look like this:

What I would do is:

Enter E and B as whole notes and use the tool with the staccato/accent/etc. the markings are there...I don't know how to get it to look right though.

They have to have the tremolo marking between them or else it means to rapidly play the chord. Separating them indicates rapid alternation between the two notes(what I need).

Boy, this is simple on my choice music program. But unfortunately, I'm no good with finale. Sorry I can't help.
I know exactly what you mean though.

OKAY! I found a way to fake it! (No thanks to anyone here, unfortunatly )
It doesn't playback right, but it will look decent.

1)In layer 1 enter the lowest note.


2)In the articulation tool select the tremolo marking.


3)In layer 2 add the highest note.


4)Using the speedy entry tool, click on the highest note and drag it to the right.


5)Go back to layer 1 and move the tremolo marking to the designated spot.


What layers you choose to use are highly irrelevant.
