Yes. All three examples can be written, based on the rules we were  
using with the DAC back in the 1990's....It will be fun to explain  
this the best I can...

1. The Squeeze is the motion of the middle joint bending down. The  
dark dot represents the FINISH of the Squeeze (the deepest part of  
the bend down).

2. It is assumed that all movement moves gradually and equally  
between the beginning and ending positions in any sign, unless  
otherwise stated ;-)

3. So it is assumed that the motion of starting to squeeze occurs  
while the sign moves into the ending final squeezed position...
