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?
Opinion: The former, if you want the 4-against-6 to be brought out.
(Possibly syncopation, but sounds more like a sort of hemiola.)
