In sheet music, how do you indicate to pluck behind the bridge of a violin?
I am writing a piece for violin that has the violinist pluck behind the bridge (between the bridge and the fine tuners). How would I indicate that on paper?

You're going to have to specify that in the music. There is no standard abbreviation for something that isn't part of standard technique. "Pizzicato behind bridge" with an open string indicated in the music would be understood clearly.
