I do that all the time, I've always used the dotted eighths, and I've never
had issues with musicians over that notation.
FWIW. Best,
Mike

Hi All,
I am engraving a piece that is in 6/8. There are places where the dotted
quarter beat is divided into 2. I've seen scores where that is notated with
2 dotted eighth notes and I've seen notated as a 2 eighth note tuplet.
Which is correct or can either be used? Thanks to anyone who can offer
their advice.

Two dotted 8ths (without a tuplet) is always acceptable.
According most notation books I've read, the "correct" way to do it with
tuplets is two 4trs in the time of three 8ths. However, I have found in
practice that two 8ths in the time three 8ths is easier for must musicians
to read, so I tend to prefer that if I don't use dotted 8ths.
I've encountered all three in printed music editions.
