There is some tradition for both, but (a) is more common in every era and 
near-universal now.

All the software packages have supported (a) and failed to implement (b), and 
that has probably contributed to making (a) even more standard than it was.  
Excluding handwritten scores, I don't think I've seen (b) in anything published 
in the last 50 years at least.

I have a client who prefers (b) and always hand-writes that way.  I rather like 
it, too.  But neither of us prefers it so much as to go to the trouble of 
kludging it every time.
