Writing mouthing of words with SSW

[Frank]

Dear Valerie,
   I'm interested in what you've done, and in SignWriting.  As I've examined
your emails and what you sent to me in the post; I've not been able to
clearly identify  your range of symbols, and principles of notation.  I
appear to be wading through immense piles of specifics with a seemingly
infinite number of discrete symbols, each conceived to represent a
particular movement, and most symbols overlapping in meaning with other
symbols.
   Is it possible to refer me to a discrete finite number of reference
sources for understanding your systems of notation? I'll seek to access the
material through my Public Library.  If the Library purchases the materials,
they will then be available for the public here and attract interest to what
you are creating now and have achieved.
   My specific interest is in your methods of writing (1) Dance movements
and (2) American Sign Language.  I'll omit examination of your other systems
of notation for the present.  It appears that you've also considered a
seemingly universal system of notation for representing language
expressions.
   Sincerely yours,  Frank Byrom
