Note
One -ing form doing two jobs: after be it is the participle (the clerk is registering arrivals), and on its own it is a gerund working as a noun (registering a complaint was quick). It carries every use of register, including showing an outward sign (her face was registering surprise) and the software sense, where it can stand without an object. The final r is not doubled.
Her face was registering nothing but polite surprise.
