Notation or playback?

Both. I can't find a way to do it on the internet.

Notationally, it's pretty easy. Just create a couple of expressions. The up and down arrows are in the Engraver Text H font.

Playback is a bit more problematical. I've created up- and down-strums by modifying the playback settings of a copy of the arpeggio articulation. But I can't get them to work cleanly and clearly on the dotted eight/sixteenth combo.

Someone smarter than me will have to jump in, here!

I would also add "quasi chitarra" above the violin part.
