Symbol for using same finger on two strings
I am looking for the little box shape used to indicate catching two strings consecutively (not double stop). I've searched the symbols, and while there are many box shapes, none seem appropriate for this symbol. Has anyone found it? Thanks for any help!

...to indicate catching two strings consecutively...
What instrument: harp, bouzouki, sitar, violin, guitar...?
Does the "box" appear in the musical notation or as part of some fretboard diagram (e.g., a barre)?
Can you attach an image?

It's specifically for violin. It's possible to do with other fingerboard instruments but I haven't seen the symbol in printed music for those instruments.

I’m curious about this box sign - I’ve played the violin for many years and have never come across it before. The finger number with a dash is sufficient if required at all. Or is this for teaching examples?

Different purpose and technique.
Not intended for this purpose, but looks the same. Press Z to call up the Master Palette and look in Symbols for these:
longa/brevis notehead, void
mouth pursed
left hand (Agostini)

That makes sense, yes, the brevis should work! Thank you, I didn't think of that!
