Is there a standard notation mark for playing a hammered-on note? Just wondering how it would be indicated in a score. Thanks!

Slur marking. sometimes with a "H" or "H.O." added below/above the slur/tie.

Slide: slur marking with a dash between note heads

Thanks, Niles! I knew there had to be some way to indicate it short of adding the word "Hammer," which could be mistaken for making the mando a percussion instrument, with disastrous results http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
