I am engraving some piano works where also I've been given quite a bit of
latitude as regards editing-type decisions. In some situations of
arpeggiated LH passages the composer sometimes has, for example, used 6
notes beamed togather (12/8 meter) or other times 3 and 3. There's no
material difference in the passages and interpretively they would be played
with 6-note phrasing. I attribute his doing them differently to
capriciousness as much a anything else.

At times it would help the layout process if 3 and 3 were used (stem
directions would shift), and since I am using slurs it seems to me that 3
and 3 with a slur would, interpretively, be the same as 6 beamed together,
so if I can help myself using 3 and 3 it's acceptable.

Agree or disagree?
