MVENTE So, the above is a set of ca. 15 keys that allows to express most situations. 1Text

MVENTEAs a way to test its consistency, let us ask if we could feed this notation into an imaginary robot and have it execute just what we expected. The answer may be negative, or positive, or in between at 90%. 1Text

TXTPRFEither way, robots aside, it may help you streamline and manage your overhand sequences. Always revert to traditional words if needed, anything goes. It may also inspire you to think of a different, more powerful, notation. SectionSTRGEN

1/3 kc 1/2 bottom clip cut SGNOpensame as kick cut, but instead of kick cutting the upper 'kicked' pile, you clip the bottom pile by the receiving handSGNClose while returning previous pile SGNOpento below the upper pile, ie. You simple switch lower pile for the first cut's pileSGNClose 1/2 kc SGNHash SectionSTRGEN
