Comment #2 on issue 1735 by address@hidden: modifying default  
behaviour of tremolo slashes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1735

Comment by Joe Neeman (lilypond-devel):

Actually, non-rectangular, constant-sloped beams used to be the default,
but I changed them (some years ago now) to be rectangular and parallel
to the beam, since that's what most of my scores have. My music
collection isn't with me right now, but I can confirm at least that
B&H's urtext edition of Bartok's solo violin sonata uses rectangular,
parallel-to-the-beam tremolos.

Cheers,
Joe


Another note on Elaine Gould:
"Angle of strokes
Tremolo strokes slant diagonally from bottom left to top right, regardless  
of stem direction or beam angle: [Example image]
In some editions, the slant is slightly steeper than the steepest beam  
angle. In other editions, beamed groups take strokes of beam thickness  
(i.e. thicker than the diagonal tremolo strokes), which are placed parallel  
to the beam; notes without beams have the thinner diagonal strokes :  
[Example image, marked as acceptable]"

So, both are not wrong. I would propose to add a global setting to use  
either of the two methods...
