Comment #5 on issue 318 by address@hidden: whole note angled tremolo
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=318

In support of making slanted tremolo "beams" for whole notes the default
behaviour, some elements from a discussion of February 2010.

Basically Werner, Reinhold and Han-Wen agreed that slanted "beam"
tremolo should be the default behaviour for whole notes.  And Reinhold
said that

  "According to Gardner Read (p. 236-237) and Kurt Stone (p. 150-151),
  the beams of whole-note tremolos are slanted like with shorter
  durations with stems, but the beams are placed centered between the
  whole notes (i.e. not where an imaginary stem would end!). The only
  situation where an imaginary stem is used to determine the
  position/slant of the beams is in cross-staff tremolos."
