How do you all feel about using dotted quarters in
6/8, 9/8, 12/8 and dotted halves in 12/8?
As for whether they're advisable or not, that's a different story.
I personally don't have any problem with dotted quarter rests in
compound meter (provided they're used wisely and started on the beat
divisions, not used in any syncopated manner) but I do know that
there are people who adhere strictly to the "No dotted rests!"
mantra.
Possibly so, but I just check in Clinton Roemer's book, and he shows
how dotted rests should be drawn without any comment whatsoever that
they should not be used. What's the authority for banning them?
