Without actually seeing the manuscript with the symbol you describe,
the closest thing I can think of is playing the whole note or half note
as consecutive 16th notes...again, I'd want to actually see the
manuscript with a visual example of this symbol to be certain.

I am hoping maybe someone can help with this.
In some manuscripts, typically in the flute sections, there are two
lines by either whole notes or half notes just to the left of the note
head: "//".
In a recording I have of one piece (and I have a copy of the
manuscript), they play this marking as a "fluttering" effect, very
similiar to a bird call. However, the same marking is in string parts.
A flute player who is a friend of mine told me that the typical
ormentation for such a "fluttering" effect was two slash marks above
the note head, but not beside it. And in English harpsichord music,
there was also such a mark to indicate an extended trill--but again
that was above the notehead, not beside it.
How would you notate such a "fluttering" in modern notation? Extended
trill?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer!
