indication of stress by means of a grid/prominence levels
Right, found my notes - which include a section on the Halle and Vergnaud theory, as it happens.
On the diagrams themselves I've actually got "line 0", "line 1" and "line 2", so it looks like "line" *is* one way of saying it, but elsewhere I have "prominence levels" or just "levels". However, I can't make up my mind whether it's best to put "(prominence) levels" or simply "a grid". It's only the highest level of a grid that tells you which syllable bears the primary stress, not the other levels, so saying that stress is indicated "on levels of prominence" wouldn't make much sense to me. I think I'd rather say "by means of a grid", which amounts to the same thing (they are made up of levels, after all), unless there's something I'm missing.

signaling of stress ... on gradient lines
"...the signaling of stress is illustrated below on gradient lines..."
I'm not 100% sure of "gradient lines" because I can't visualize the display the authori is talking about

Note from asker:
| Basically it is stacks of *s above a word. The first row of *s is 0, the second is 1, etc. |
