TextTXTNTESo, the above is a set of ca. 15 keys that allows to express most situations.
As a way to test its consistency, let us ask if we could feed this notation into an imaginary robot and have it execute just what we expected. The answer may be negative, or positive or in between at 90%.
Either way, robots aside, it may help you streamline and manage your overhand sequences. Always revert to traditional words if needed, anything goes.
It may also inspire you to think of a different, more powerful, notation.
