  • Normally the ambiguity in a 6/4 measure would be expressed as the ambiguity between the normal 6/4 compound duple meter (two groups of three quarter notes each per measure) and 3/2. Do you really mean to ask about 2/4 or are you using that to indicate 3/2? The examples in the question look like plain 6/4. Where is the polymeter? Commented Apr 12, 2021 at 15:33
  • I do mean to ask about 2/4. And yes, the example I show is plain, normal 6/4, but you can imagine that if I had the cellos going S, w, w, S, w, w and the violas going S, w, S, w, S, w within the same 6/4 measure, that there would be a 3/4 2/4 polymeter Commented Apr 12, 2021 at 18:37
