Yes, I'll admit that that was a silly example, since it can easily be
adapted to make either signature clear. What about a dotted half?
This is a ludicrous question, seems to me, because there's no way
whatsoever for a performer to perform a dotted half in 3/4 in a way
that sounds rhythmically different from the same value in 6/8.

I wasn't implying that there would be any difference in how it would
be performed. However, the performers would probably like to be
notified in some way whether the conductor will split that measure
into 2 or 3 beats.



What, you want Boulez-style indications over every sustained note? If there's a regular alternation between 6/8 and 3/4, then a trained monkey could probably understand what the conductor was doing. Or, come to think of it, a trained monkey could conduct it....
