é um compasso entre ternário e binário composto
Three/four (3/4) designa-se em português por compasso ternário, six/eight (6/8) por binário composto. Como ambos têm a duração de seis colcheias, é muito frequente haver peças em que o compasso não está completamente claro, mas vai alternando entre as duas alternativas. Imagino que a frase se refira a uma peça assim.
