In fact, Ross specifically uses this as an example of what NOT to do
in 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8. He says quarter rest, eighth note on the same
beat in all compound meters EXCEPT 3/8. But never eighth note,
quarter rest on the same beat!
He also says to use dotted quarter rests and dotted half rests in 9/8
and 12/8 time, as they clarify the beat, but not in 6/8.

I'm transcribing an 18th century edition that systematically avoids
using quarter rests in 6/8 or 12/8 - including on the beat, when
there's only one eighth on the last part of the beat preceded by
two eighth rests.
I know this is the rule Ted Ross (and others) give for 3/8. But
does it make sense to follow it and follow the source here in 12/8?
Thanks,
