Can anyone tell me how to get a C with a slash through it to

Thanks!
The above question leads me to another.
If the time is 4/4 and you want it to become 2/2, use can use the C
with a line through it.
In 3/4, is there any sign to show when you are going from 3/4 to twice
as fast which would be in 1. I have a trombone player friend who
always mars his parts with 3/4 with a line through it. This is a
difficult question. I hope I've made it clear.
Eeesh. I, for one, would not know what to make of 3/4 with a line
through it. I certainly wouldn't immediately think it was twice as fast
as a previous 3/4, in fact, I might even think it was three times as
fast.
I would probably write some indication (as was previously discussed
quite recently on this list) such as
<-Q. = H.->
(that is, "previous dotted quarter equals new dotted half")
or simply "Double tempo."
For sure, you have to be certain that it is impossible to misinterpret.
A slashed 3/4 would certainly be interpreted differently by different
musicians, so I would not use it.
