Wavey lines and scribbles, often overlapping, are often used in aleatoric
sections of contemporary music. I most often see them used in percussion
parts. For example, they may be used to indicate how long the
percussionist should be run their finger up and down a set of wind chimes.
I've seen the dovetailing waves and scribbles that I included in Finale
Percussion used in several contemporary scores written for band.
Typically, engravers will overlap several lines, using different waves and
point sizes to create a scribbled look. The same is true for the circular
motion glyphs. In my research for Finale Percussion, I ran across circular
glyphs used that were both above and below the base line along with large
and small versions of the glyph.
