In compound meters with dotted half as the beat, I don't see any problem with a dotted quarter rest. But values larger than that become quite problematic, in my opinion. It seems to me that the principle I adduced from Darcy's post is a pretty good one: - use dotted rests only for values of one beat or less. -- David W.
