I have a theory question for all you theory buffs out there.  I am writing a
piece that is mostly in a slow 4/4 meter (quarter note =60).  Occasionally,
I have a measure of 6 beats where the quarter note remains consistent.  In
those measures, the stress of lyrics falls on beats 1, 3 and 5.  Should I
make those measures 3/2 or 6/4.   My uncertainty lies in that going to 3/2
makes it look like the half note gets the beat, but 6/4 is generally
considered to be a compound meter (3+3).  Any words of wisdom?
