against strong NT, I use DONT, but against weak NT we only use DONT when we allready passed (4th hand 1NT-opening). Normally we use multi-landy:

Dbl = opening value, any hand
2C = 44+ M (V -7LTC, NV -8LTC)
2D = multi: weak-2M or semi-gameforcing in any suit (V -7LTC, NV -8LTC)
2M = muiderberg (5 card M and 4+ in a minor) (V -7LTC, NV -8LTC)
2NT = 55+m
3X = pre-emptive

I play over any opps NT bid ( opening mini/weak/strong, response 1NT, fit jump 2NT... ) same structure. If some of suits are already shown by opps, then bid in this suit show wild 2 suiter and other bids cant include it.

DBL: overcall in minor or both majors
2CL: DONT
2DI: DONT
2HE/SP: nat, 5+
2NT: both minors

A different twist on the Don't/Cappaletti style is Beware

(against weak NT)
X = 9-14 two suiter or 18+ flat
suit = natural.
2NT = Good overcall say 13-16
3-any = weak

Using double to show a two suiter is more frequent than double to show a single suiter hence advancer gets to pass a lot.

If opponents are Vuls vs Not then we play double as straight penalty and play 2C=majors.

After a double the first double by either partner is takeout, others=penalty.
