    Hi,

    I'm not totally sure about what the "half-tremolo" articulation does. Is it just half of the section playing tremolo, with the other half playing normally?

    I have to ask this question again, because I'm really not sure of what is happening.

    Also, I guess "Ponticello" bowing is also half-tremolo, but sul ponticello. Is it correct?

    Hi Paolo!

    In the "Synchron FX Strings I" library "half-tremolo" means that half of the players are playing regular and half of the players are playing tremolo.
    "Ponticello" means that half of the players are playing sul ponticello and half of the players are playing tremolo. This ensures that the preset crossfade works seamlessly.

    Thank you Andi! Yes, I already had that score. I've just replace it with the latest version, in case mine was outdated.
