I don't know anything about handbell choir music and which special

Are there any images you could link to?
Thomas,
For your (or anyone else's) reference, here is a site that summarizes
standard American handbell notation:
https://www.handbellworld.com/music/HandbellNotation.cfm
Shaking is almost always denoted with `Sk`, but often that notation is
accompanied with a wavy line as well. (The wavy line is similar to the
arpeggio marking but horizontal.) Usually the wavy line is only
necessary if there are other non-shaken notes in the measure and the
duration of the shake is not otherwise clear. Also, I have seen music
where you have layers of shaken bells all starting and ending at
different points. Again, the wavy line can help make things clearer for
ringers.
The skake line is strictly horizontal and would extend for the duration
of the note, so it not attached to anything on the right end. It would
be similar to the *laissez vibrer*--a tie with no target.
