I have been trying to follow the theory discussion on Phrasing between you and Peggy Hackney.

I notice that your write the phrasing symbols in the vertical dimension, as though you would write a phrase from bottom to top, as in regular Labanotation. Peggy writes the symbols in the horizontal dimension. Is this a matter of preference, or am I misinterpreting you intention? It would be useful if both of you would actually write some model phrases as part of your examples, rather than just the isolated symbols.
