Thanks, jef! Now that I've seen the score, I'm
no further along in understanding the composer's
intention, obvious as it may seem, and therefore
in interpreting the notational questions. And

Regardless of the direction on the viola, with conviction and passion, a
question that needs to be answered is exactly what [part of the viola] is
being hit? If a composer doesn't give clear directions about how exactly
to do something, there is no reason for a potential performer to believe

I think a key question to answer, before you worry about the notated
duration of the note, is what is the bat hitting (or, what is hitting
the bat)?
If the percussionist/batter is hitting a baseball into the audience, a
1/16th note is probably good, because the sound will naturally be short.

Would someone mind reposting the original query?
I don't know how I missed it, but obviously I
did, and none of the discussion makes sense

Did no one read the score Jef sent? It's in French, but he helpfully provided a
translation.

My thoughts:
Single line is fine. Five-line would work just fine, too. I would also put
the fermata over the 3rd rest.
I think a quarter note is acceptable in this context. The only tempo mark
given is freely which means it could be performed slow or fast. An eighth
note could work, but a

i would just be worried that the decisiveness of the action in the
