Re: Notation convention: dotted notes, duplet or else?

[Éditions IN NOMINE]

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, ...
