Anybody know what the markings on the 8th notes in the 5th and 6th measure mean? It's been a long time since I was a music student, but I either forgot or never knew what these markings meant.2TCVa9w.png

I think they mean play each note twice, i.e. semi-quavers (16th notes? we don't call them that in the UK), but I'm not totally au fait with all violin notation yet. Just replying because no-one else has.

What Gordon said.

It's a shorthand notation that's supposed to be easier to read than writing it out in full (and takes up less space on the page).

I'm thinking along the lines of Jim and Gordon although in my long musical career (like 10 minutes long :-) I've only ever seen those lines on a diagonal like:

As for the image above. If you have eighth notes with an additional slash you play 16th notes, if you have 2 slashes on a quarter note you play 16th notes. Obviously repeating the same note.
