Nactation rookie's tiny workout 1

The play was 16/13 6/4. After lifting the blot, 6/4 seems clear, so I chose 32L for this play. Is there something better here ?

I would have used 32$ noting the slot part of the play but either is acceptable. As you say, lifting is clear, it's the 'assumed' part of the play, so I nactate the other half of the play. This is one thing that I believe ppl misunderstand with the recent bashings of nactation, while we may use different symbols for some situations I'd have no problem whatsoever understanding what you meant by 32L and you'd have no problem upon seeing 32$ presumably either. That's one advantage of it.

I may have also used 62N instead of your 62F but again, we both mean and understand the same thing.

The play was 13/8/2. First I wrote this as 65O, but I guess, strictly speaking, this should be 65o using the closest to the 6-point convention ?

These are things I don't get hung up on. OtB I'd have surely used 65$. You don't need the most precise symbol sometimes, just the one that gets the play across. On plays like this you don't even need a symbol, but since you're working out your nactation muscles 65o would be technically correct also.

I don't believe nactation is currently meant to cover all the cute shuffling plays than can come up and OtB I may or may not nactate certain parts of it relying on my ability to know that I'd play the same roll the same way if it came up again. You can also in a crisis fling back to old notation and write 5, 4 for the 21 or 4, 2 for the upcoming 32.
