DanceWriting and SignWriting can be written directly under music notes...we do that in dance quite a lot, but it is very easy to place SignWriting under the notes too... That is not what I am suggesting you do...since most people do not know how to read music.... There is a much easier way to write the "visual rhythm" of signed languages in SignWriting, which I look forward to sharing with you very soon... But just for fun, here is an example of DanceWriting written under the music notes...this is one of many options for writing timing in Sutton Movement Writing... | |||||
