Hello Ingvild and Everyone!
That is true. There is absolutely NO difference in meaning, or  
difference in performance, between these your two writings attached.  
If you had not said one was for a hearing performance of the sign, I  
would never have known you wanted something different.

I can explain why, if you would like, plus I can teach you how to  
write the difference between a smooth and jerky circle if you would  
like?...

So your first one does not mean "smooth" and the second one does not  
mean "jerky"...Unless you want us to change the meaning of the  
symbols, which would lead to changing hundreds of documents, and make  
all circles typed with SignWriter DOS jerky!! Val ;-)
