What is the bowing technique where the musician changes bow direction rapidly called?
It's kind of like a trill, but on the same note. I am trying to add it to an arrangement, so if there's a short-hand way to write it in the score, that would help also.

Tremolo? You indicate that with three hatches across the stem of the note. If the tempo is slow enough that it could be mistaken for a measured repeated note, write "trem" above the note.

Tremolo. You would write it with three hatches or slashes through the stem of the note, or above it (or below) if it doesn't have a stem.
But you could also be talking about two slashes, and then it would mean sixteenth notes - like in Beethoven's Fifth. The tempo is wicked fast, so I think of it as a tremolo, but then it still has to be even sixteenth notes.
