Sorry, but I don't quite see the distinction. If the meter is 6/4 and the subdivision is 3x2/4, then I'd say that the meter is wrong, not "uncommon." What's the utility of using 6/4 instead of 3/2 for 3x2/4? That would be like using 6/8 for the meter of 3 quarter notes (i.e., 3/4). Nobody would do that, so why should they do it with 6/4? -- David W.
