If you're just placing the two meters beside each other at

is supposed to get the 3/4 feeling instead of hemiolas in 6/8?
With both meters allowing 6 8th notes (or 3 quarter notes) it
may not be immediately obvious in measures other than ones full
of 8th notes where you can show the meter with the beaming.
When beaming correctly in 3/4 and 6/8 measure, it should be
obvious in which of the two he is. Following Ted Ross-like rules
for beaming and rests should make it clear.
Yes, but what if there are no beams (a half note and a quarter note,
for example)?
How would your example be performed differently in 6/8 or 3/4?
However, the notation of it looks like 3/4 to me, and in 6/8 should
probably be dotted quarter tied to eighth, quarter note, which would
adequately denote the intended subdivision.
Also, Finale might make it difficult to ensure correct
beaming, since it will alternate its default beaming between 6/8 and
3/4 in each subsequent measure. That's what "adding" timesigs together
is supposed to denote.
I don't get this. If you have set Finale to alternate measures of 6/8
and 3/4, but to always show as (whatever you chose), then beaming will
occur automatically to the time signature unless you manually override
it. Isn't that what is wanted?
