I do that all the time, I've always used the dotted eighths, and I've never
had issues with musicians over that notation.
FWIW. Best,

I've seen both. Personally I prefer the duplet. I did a concert last year and
the composer (Elgar) used dotted quavers - it threw the young inexperienced

Both are valid and which you choose is down to which you think will get

Two dotted 8ths (without a tuplet) is always acceptable.
According most notation books I've read, the "correct" way to do it with
tuplets is two 4trs in the time of three 8ths. However, I have found in

to read, so I tend
Hi All,
I am engraving a piece that is in 6/8. There are places where the dotted
quarter beat is divided into 2. I've seen scores where that is notated with

Which is correct or can either be used? Thanks to anyone who can
