Of the 2, definitely the 2nd. Otherwise my brain would be doing the math *every bloody measure* to check if I'm in duple or triple meter.

But I'd rather just put it in 12/8 & be done with it. Or maybe in 6/4 & use a lot of triplets, but that could get really ugly.

Being distracted by all the time signatures vs. being distracted by mentally doing the math was the biggest aspect of what I was wondering about. Two votes so far for the way the editor of the book I copied it from had done it.

In 12/8, how would you feel about dotted barlines between the duple and triple halves of each measure? Make the 12 more manageable, or just be one more distraction?

Would writing it out explicitly as hemiolas be better or worse than the alternating time signatures?
