if the rubbing is NOT a circular, sustained motion, you could instead write the struck notes as 16ths staccato and the rubbed notes as 8ths tenuto.

Are you suggesting normal noteheads or x-heads?


are you specifying what grit to use? 40-60 totally coarse, can rip shit up great (like legs...) has a very raucous sound, while 100-120 is a nice clean smooth sound, 220 and above for those really fine moments, blends well with air noises (eg. wind through instrument).

this is shit that was not in the orchestration books i read but of utmost importance 8^)

Well, at least you can have SATB sandpaper blocks, if not Vibra-slaps!!!
