Preferred notation?
Posted: 20 May 2021, 14:41
Which do members of this forum prefer?
Although 3 is probably quite normal, I prefer to avoid that kind of tuplet. Routinely, I notate potential duplets and quadruplets in 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 &c as dotted notes rather than as tuplets. For this reason, my initial choice here in 3/4 was 1, but I've since revised it to 2 as being more correct if a tad fussy.
Or indeed, maybe 4 is the most ‘correct’, but again, I would probably rather avoid that one, although I don't dislike it as much as I do 3.
Any comments?
