OK!  It's not perfect, but it does work!  In line signals there are no
single 'bells' unless they're preceded by a sequence of couplets.  To give
an example - using 'taps' instead of 'Pulls' and 'Bells' - and using the
standard line signals.
"I am going down." [3 Pulls]. Tap: Tap: Tap.
"I want to come up.  Assist me up." [ 4 Pulls and 2 bells].  Tap: Tap: Tap:
Tap: Tap-Tap.  Best of all it's universal. 
Tones are good!  But why limit yoursef with just a few different size
cylinders? Just sling the old xylophone round your neck and you've got the
full Websters dictionary right at your finger tips!:-)
