Four dotted eighths (or four quarters in duplet). You want to make both
the beat and the duple feel clear. The tied version obscures the beat
slightly so you have to use precious (limited in my case) mental energy
for something other than pure music making.

Hi, Everyone...
I'm notating a song in 6/8 time and in one spot it has syncopated
rhythm, and I'm not sure which way is the proper way to notate it!
There are 4 notes in the measure, each getting 1.5 counts - would this
be portrayed with 4 dotted-eighth notes? Or would you do
dotted-eighth, 16th-tied-to-8th, dotted-eighth, 16th-tied-to-8th?
Thanks!
Jacki
