Hello Barbara and Everyone...
Those Timing Symbols, in this case the Same-Time Movement
symbols...they rotate in all 8 directions but the meaning does not
change...the rotations are simply nice when some signs have symbols
high or low...so the rotations are there for visual ease of reading,
but do not change meaning...that is true with all the Timing Symbols
(see attached)...
