You allowed to use one dotted note - where would you use the dot? To

rule if were half-quarter-eight pattern?

I think that there isn't an easy answer to Leigh's question.
Certainly dotted halves can't be presenting problems for people beyond

Definitely quarter + dotted eighth. (When a beat contains sixteenth
subdivisions, I generally try to show the beginning of the beat.)
And yes, definitely half + dotted quarter for the second example.

Quarter-dotted eighth scans much better than dotted quarter-sixteenth. The
second case is not quite

Depends on what you're used to, and how much practice you have at
