so i know "pizz" more or less (but not perfectly?) translates to
plucked, but if the string is plucked with another object than the
finger is is still correct to use "pizz."?
for example, if the screw of the bow is used to pluck the string (which
i have indicated in the score), should pizz. or pluck be indicated over
the screw-plucked notes?
As a (non-italian-speaking) violinist, I would say "pizz." would be
correct if you just indicate how the pizz should be performed. Parts
where the violinist uses a plectrum for example, can be "pizz. (w.
guitar plectrum)" and yet be totally clear for the performer.
I've also seen "col legno" passages where the extra indication was to
use other wooden objects than the bow.
