Don't think so. If e.g. with meter 12/8 a bar has only one 1/8th as
first note. How would you then notate the rests?
Chlapik recommends either r8 r8 r4 r8 r2d
or r8 r8 r4d r2d
not recommended is r8 r8 r4 r8 r4 r8
Or more dramatically: meter 15/8 and the same case.
Chlapik recommends r8 r8 r2d r2d
not recommended r8 r8 r4 r8 r4 r8 r4 r8 r4 r8
wrong r8 r8 r4d r4d r4d r4d
