I didn't realize that the 2x3/4 division was more common than the 3x2/4 division, but of course you're right about the correct rests in that case.

That's only if you are using 6/4 as an equivalent to 3/2. The traditional use of 6/4, however, is that of two 3/4 halfbars. In such a use of 6/4 I would not consider it correct to use half rests. The correct rests for the quarternote on the last beat would be:
dotted half rest, quarter rest, quarter rest.

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.
