I'm not sure if this is a sextuplet with a tremolo or how to notate it. (Using Musescore; I know how to notate a sextuplet with a tremolo, but it doesn't look like this once I do). Any advice as to what it is and how to notate would be appreciated! sextuplet with tremolo?

    As a clarification, you're looking for three repetitions of each note within each sextuplet?

  • Unless the tempo is extremely slow this will be indistinguishable from a trill, and a trill would be much easier to read.

  • What piece is this from? It doesn't look like your own composition.

    What is the source of this notation? I've never seen flags or flat signs like this before. The colored bar line and ties are also interesting.

    @phoog - I think I've seen flat signs like this before in some Kapustin sheet music or maybe some other vaguely classical-leaning Third Stream composer's sheet music.

The musical result will be this: enter image description here

Here's how to do it in MuseScore. Enter all 6 notes as a sextuplet. Edit the 1st and 3rd to be dotted 16ths. Apply the trem.
