Nactation help needed

My personal preference and choice was for H and h but I thought I might as well ask Nack before I fed you the wrong information. His email follows:

Stick’s preference of H for 13/8 6/2* and h for 13/9 6/1* is probably most popular.

Matt’s preference of N for 13/8 6/2 and n for 13/9 6/1 has the advantage of working with or without a hit.

I personally like H and h when hitting (for color) and N and n when there is no hit.

Also fine are 2 and 1, applying the coming-down default axiom for the other half of a hitting move.

As Matt implies, H2 and H1 are a way for new nactators to get their feet wet.

Standard nactation for 21S-54H is only seven characters. The standard form of traditional notation for that two-move sequence is thirty-four characters (2-1: 24/23, 13/11; 5-4: 13/8, 6/2*), and even if you pare down it is nineteen characters (21: 23 11; 54: 8 2*) -- or it is twenty-nine down to fourteen characters if you don’t count the spaces.

Brevity (or speed, saving on typing) is nactation’s primary appeal for people naming files or transcribing or communicating early game moves to each other.
