Jack Campin	Planxty Fanny Power time signature (71* d)	RE: Planxty Fanny Power time signature	02 Nov 17
For a lot of tunes it makes no difference. A tune in 3/4 may well have the odd-numbered bars starting with a heavier stress than the even-numbered ones, which is what happens in one bar of six-time. You pick the time signature for readibility and to fit in with established conventions - nobody would notate a newly composed waltz in 6/8 even though it might be theoretically more logical.
