question that we talked about in the SignWriting Brasil WhatsApp group
regarding how to write a sign that uses more movements and more than one
handshape. The example was the audiovisual spelling in Libras. There was a
member of the group that did the direct writing (term I use for writing that is
not done and 2 steps), however, I found the writing to be confusing, difficult
to read, so I suggested writing in 2 steps (according to example (1) of the
attached video) in order to facilitate reading.<span></span></span></p>

that this is the best option in these cases, when some time ago I introduced
him to the SignWriting script used in Libras with two writing possibilities.
Adam explained that the writing (from example 3 in the attached video) was more
readable.<span></span></span></p>

I understand when I can use direct writing in order to save graphemes and
spaces when writing signs with more movements and more than one handshape, and
also where can I find more guidelines, references to publications that clarify
this question .<span></span></span></p>
