I have done a piece in 6/4 time- as the original given to me. It really should be in 6/8- it's very odd to read in 6/4. How do I 'convert' it?
I know about changing note durations- (m.m.-change-duration) and I know about changing time sigs- but how to do both at once??

As always, quick and helpful replies. But I'm struck by how set we get in our ways. Why "should" it be in 6/8? Why is it "odd" to read it in 6/4. Of course I do a lot of early music, and one has to get used to interpreting notes that look big and slow as being sprightly and fast, but learning to read it is just no big deal. Everything doesn't have to turn the page black, like a Beethoven slow movement.
