Dear Penny, Siv and everyone...
If you are writing for "everyday use", then I think what I wrote is
"good enough".....it gives all the features you mention above...But for
research you could put in timing, and the dynamics behind the
movement...whether it was sharp, or smooth, or slow or fast or
un-even...here is another one I just thought of...I like this one
too...ha!  Val ;-)
