The message you made this reply to did not include that term in it. I have seen no one offering as an example any music that meets the critieria I identified as "borderline incompetent." Maybe I'm artificially limiting the applicability, but that's precisely my point. Christopher has identified an excellent reason why jazz traditions are different, one that resonates with my experience of playing French 18th-century music. But most of his examples (all but one, if I'm counting correctly) are not music that is notated in 6/4 with the half note as the beat, but music that is notated in 6/4 and has the QUARTER NOTE as the beat. That's a possibility I didn't consider (since it doesn't really exist in traditional music), but it also is a possibility that isn't part of the limited set of circumstances I said were problematic, since it's not music in 3x2/4 notated as 6/4. -- David W.
