I've looked this up in Elaine Gould's "Behind Bars", and both stem tremolos on
beamed notes (pp.224ff) as well as drum rolls (pp.294ff) use the same slope as
the tremolo flags without beams. In no case is the tremolo beam adjusted to
have the same slope as the beam.
Gardner Read's "Music Notation" also shows an example on p.393 with the
tremolo slashed NOT adjusted with the beam.
Neither has Kurt Stone's "Music Notation in the Twentieth Century" (see
pp.148ff).
So, I couldn't find any reference that the tremolo slashes should be aligned
with the beam. To the contrary, all standard notation reference use the same
slope as on notes without a beam.
Cheers,
Reinhold
