The notation for a shake and a flutter looks identical.  On the "Notation Key"  you say there is no second note for a shake.  I am not clear on what you mean by that.

 

Thanks

Hello vid wes. A flutter is

Hello vid wes. A flutter is one note (a 4 draw for example). The shake has two notes (4 and 5 draws for example), so you shake between these two notes. Down the road it will get more confusing!... you can flutter on two notes, but I'll write in the text that that's what I want you to do.
