1: This is a short sweep; the defender is trying to hook the attacker's leading foot forward to get em to overcommit eir weight onto eir front foot.
2: There's a slight syncopation to the rhythym here; the punch doesn't follow immediately, but rather waits until the attacker has settled the bulk of eir weight on eir front foot. The monkey grab from the preceeding action is maintained at this point; the defender should pull back on the grappled arm while executing the reverse punch, effectively pulling the attacker into it.

Reading and writing this notation on web pages and on paper is very different.
I wonder if it might be OK to allow 2 layout variants: bottom to top (usual for paper) and left to right (sometimes more convenient to type or lay out in HTML).
Left-to-right notation would be more or less the same, but with "forwards" being to the right, left-side actions on the first of each group of 3 lines, movement on the next line, and right-side actions on the third line. IOW, the same but rotated 90° clockwise.
The reason is, for long sets (like IAKSA green-to-blue) you are likely to need to scroll on a web page, or go onto the next page of a small notebook. In which case, the bottom-to-top direction isn't quite as intuitive IMO.
What do you think?
I agree with you that entering things in HTML can be a bit of a pain. I'm going to put together a post on typesetting at some point in the not-too-distant future, but I'd like to see an example of what you're proposing first. I'm going to give you contributor access and you can post an example of what you'd like the layout to look like.
When I'm taking notes I usually divide my paper into a couple of columns; when I hit the top of the left-most column I just start at the bottom of the next column over.
Actually, scratch the bit about access; as much as I'd like to do that I don't think it can be done while preserving anonymity. Post an example of your proposed layout on your blog.
OK, posted a small example
at Notation for Movement #1
Cool, thanks.
