Shorthand for descending notes?
Is there a shorthand for notating notes to be played in a descending manner. It's not a glissando, but more like that cascading thing Roger Williams does in "Autumn Leaves."
For example, in the attached pic how to write that out without writing out all the notes.

Arpeggio?
I don't see how you can avoid writing out the notes. In your attachment, some notes are skipped, some black keys, some white keys...

Write the notes as chords and add arpeggio markings. Don't expect a player reading it to keep to a regular rhythm. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/arpeggios-and-glissandi
Not much of a shorthand and it's much simpler, easier to read, and more specific as to how to play it if you write it as it is in the picture.
