Note
A single -ing form does two jobs. After be it is the participle of an action under way (she is soloing over the bridge). In a noun slot it is the gerund (soloing takes nerve). Either job covers every use of the verb: a musician's turn alone, doing anything with no one else present, the football move of dropping the ball and toe-kicking it back into the hands, and, in slang, tackling a hard task single-handed.
