Notation convention: dotted notes, duplet or else?

Hi, I have a question not about LilyPond itself but about notational conventions (rules). Maybe you know better or I know some have great references such as Ted Ross or Gardner Read. In 3/4 times, what would be the recommended notation of the following rhythm? \time 3/4 % proposal 1:

Ho, I won't troll about conventions, I promise... I think you could see on IMSLP to see ancient engravings (19th century, Breitkopf, Pleyel, ...) to see that there are a lot of different way to do it, and especially to see which one is the best for you. Generally speaking, it depends on what

I would have to agree with the other correspondents here, that there is no one answer. Conventionally, your 4th example is likely to be used, as it keeps the 3 beats in the measure clear. Generally, dotted notes don't start on the weak part of a beat and extend into the next beat. However, if

Thanks for the answer, improvisationOn / -Off seems to fit quite well – I didn’t see it when browsing the notation reference. However, if it is somehow possible, I’d prefer a rhythmic staff. Could I maybe change some engravers for a single bar, which produce the desired effect (i.e.

Hi David, The whole point of hemiolas is to fit with the timing. Yes. Changing the meter ruins the pun. Only if a hemiola feel is what you want. ;) it seems like a crutch for people uncapable of dealing with the duality of inner and outer rhythmic structure of a syncopated phrase. As
