When tapping, don't most people simply increase the silence between the taps to indicated a dash? In other words, tap slower? In other words, Cloud, decreasing the frequency of thrusts, thus decreasing the frequency of the headboard banging into the wall, will produce a dash.

That oughta get you rescued. Although why you'd want to be is beyond me.
