Thanks Owain
Yes, it was the modern usage I was referring to, and yes, of course
players will be familiar with the conventional notation. I was
discussing the matter with a French composer and was unsure if he
would know what I meant by finger tremolo.

John,
You have a rather large choice between a number of terms,
depending on whether you are thinking of _tremolo_ in it's
(assumed?) historical meaning of a fluctuation of intensity (with
or without a reiteration of the note) and _vibrato_, that is, a
fluctuation of pitch not amounting to a complete change of note.
If the context is one of modern performance, not of historical
terminology, then 'tremolo' is used to describe rapid alterations
between pitches wider than a trill provides, on string instruments,
which is what I presume John means. While there are no doubt
various terms that could be applied to this, I would not expect
them to be understood by the average string player.
