I know that it is generally felt that one should not, in the best of company, use half rests in 3/4 time. How about 6/4?

Hi Raymond,

Half rests are used in 6/4. It would look ridiculous to have, for example, five quarter rests in a row, followed by a quarter note. The only stipulation is that they should not occur on any beats other than one, three, and five.

The more contentious question would be whether it was okay to use _whole_ rests in non-empty 6/4 measures -- for example, a whole rest followed by a half note.
