Hello Anny -
Your writing looks good...see attached for more information...I put  
numbers above each symbol column there...Number 1 is a single  
alternating trill in one direction only. Number 2 is down and then  
up. Or up and then down...so Number 2 is a trill in two directions.  
Number 3 is three directions, but most people use it for Multiple.  
and number 4 is MANY...lots!  Also see my writing of the sign in the  
SignBox in the attached diagram...you can write it with or without a  
shoulder line and it will be understood...I added that version to  
your SignPuddle online...
