Ho, I won't troll about conventions, I promise... I think you could see on IMSLP to see ancient engravings (19th century, Breitkopf, Pleyel, ...) to see that there are a lot of different way to do it, and especially to see which one is the best for you.

Generally speaking, it depends on what you want the musician to play : hemiola way, syncopation way, ...

Hi,

I have a question not about LilyPond itself but about notational
conventions (rules).  Maybe you know better or I know some have great
references such as Ted Ross or Gardner Read.

In 3/4 times, what would be the recommended notation of the following
rhythm?

 \time 3/4
 % proposal 1: dotted notes
 c4. c4. |

I would never do this unless there was a longer section of hemiolas.

 % proposal 2: tied notes
 c4~ c8 c8~ c4 |

Lots of info.

 % proposal 3: duplet
 \times 3/2 { c4 c4 } |

Ditto - only in the case of hemiolas.

 % proposal 4: mix (not "symmetric")
 c4. c8~ c4 |


This is what I do if there's only one measure.

Cheers,
MS
