I was wondering about those symbols. So the ones on the noes means static while the ones above the head means that it moves to the tilt?<br><br>Adam<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/6/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br>Another way to show a Head Tilt, is with the position of the Tilting<br>Nose. This is an exact side tilt. The nose is straight forward. The<br>movement is from the neck.<br><br><br><br><br><br>and a third way is Tilting Head Movement symbols, showing the movment
<br>of one Tilt, two tilts in the same direction, three tilts in the same<br>direction, and tilts back and forth...<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></blockquote></div><br>
