Re: Complicated Music Writing Question

If you want to write it out in full, then use 9/8 which is three groups of three - so essentially a slow 3/4 but with each beat divided into three.

So your beats are (as you've already worked out) 1-&-a 2-&-a 3-&-a

I'd write it out in 3/4, but specify it's swing, so it has a shuffle feeling with each crotchet/quarter note beat being divided unequally giving 2/3-1/3 instead of 1/2-1/2 as it would be with straight quavers/straight 8s.

This is how I'd write it out:
