If the composer says in effect to the performer: "I do not care whether you perform my music or not," we cannot argue the matter.

There's even a section where a descant is overlaying a 12/8 figure (four groups of 3 eighth notes) on top of 2+2+2 or 4+2 or 6. Sometimes it's 2+2+2, sometimes it's 4+2, sometimes it's flat out 6. Now, I might be tempted to write it myself as 4/4 with a measure of 2/4, but what if the composer didn't ask me, and I don't have that liberty? 6/4 it is, then.I just finished a work with a prominent section of 6/4. Now, I might be tempted to write it myself as 4/4 with a measure of 2/4, but what if the composer didn't ask me, and I don't have that liberty? 6/4 it is, then. In a passage of 4/4 where there is one measure with 6 beats instead of 4, 6/4 would be preferred to 3/2, as it preserves the same pulse value. To those who point out that 2+2+2 quarter notes is actually 3/2, sometimes it is notated as 6/4 anyway and an engraver has to reproduce it. Think that 6/4 is a compound time signature 1-23 2-23.įinale 2011, OS X 10.5.8 / MacBookPro & iMac 20" / Logic Studio 8, Peak Express 6 / InDesign CS4 Usually never one rest over even-odd rest. Since 6/4 (in most cases) are subdivided as either 3/4+3/4 or 2/4+2/4+2/4, it really depends on the music You'd use the longer rest on the big beat but not otherwise. Two-beat 6/4 is analogous to 6/8, I think.

Tobias Giesen's plugins, full version, Robert Patterson plugins, Dolet 5 plugin Scott Ross wrote a good book about these kinds of musical rules and traditions. If the first note in the measure is an 8th note, you shouldn't use a dotted quarter rest to fill up the measure, but an 8th rest followed by a quarter rest. In 6/4 if a quarter begins a beat, you should never use a half rest to fill out the beat. As soon as it becomes three groups of half notes (or two quarters), it is no longer 6/4 and becomes 3/2, in which different rules apply. There may be sections with an emphasis shift but it still is basically in two. In addition it should be pointed out that 6/4 time is always a complex duple meter, i.e.

If the subdivision is 2/4+2/4+2/4, I would use a quarter note rest on beats 2 and 3, and a half note rest on beat 5/6 (a half note rest per subdivision). If the subdivision is 3/4+3/4, I would use all quarter note rests (a dotted half note rest for each subdivision). Since 6/4 (in most cases) are subdivided as either 3/4+3/4 or 2/4+2/4+2/4, it really depends on the music. Is one way more 'acceptable' in any sense? Should I use quarter note rests (crotchet rests) or half note rests (minim rests).


I have a measure of 6/4 time with a quarter note on beats 1 and 4.
