Re: staff size and tremolo

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's probably not very clear from the manual, but you can use the
\with{...} feature together with both syntaxes for creating a new
context:
\new Staff \with {SOME SETTINGS} {MUSIC}
and
\context Staff = NAME \with {SOME SETTINGS} {MUSIC}

So, in your example, you probably want to do
PianoMD = {
  \clef treble
  \context Staff <<
    \context Voice = one \with{...} \mdSuperiore
    \context Voice = two \with{...} \mdInferiore
  >>
}

The warning about the tremolo is harmless. It seems that the
implementors didn't think of the case of a full bar tremolo,
when they designed that warning. Since you get the correct
output, it's nothing to worry about.
