I'm editing a solo transcription for a friend, and found this rhythm:

4/4 | dotted quarter -- quarter -- dotted quarter |

It adds up to four beats, but I found it threw me a bit; apparently I haven't seen it often, and wondered if it's just me. My inclination is to re-notate it, particularly as the middle quarter has a dot accent -- too many dots!

I've also heard there is a rule of thumb that the arranger should notate syncopations in such a way that the 3rd beat of a 4/4 bar will be apparent.

What do y'all think?
