I thought I'd chime in here as an LA jazz musician who has actually worked
with Bob Florence and played his charts.

My recommendation would be to notate the entire chart in 6/4 and notate/beam
the music accordingly to reflect the 6/4 or 3/2 pulse. This would make it
easier to read and reduce rehearsal time.

If it becomes a tedious exercise to manually change the beaming in "3/2"
sections, you can set staves to have independent time sigs and then set
certain passages to be in 3/2 (for easier entry) but display as 6/4 so that
the time sig change will be invisible.

I agree with those who assert that LA studio musicians have big ears, and
much of how they play is dictated by the feel of the rhythm section and the
lead players, rather than by the exact notation.

Hope this helps,
Brian Williams
