This is a matter for partnership agreement.

However, even if you prefer to use scramble, you can still get part of the benefit of Lebensohl:

2NT = two places to play or a weak 3♥ bid
immediate 3♥= constructive, not quite strong enough to bid on the previous round.


This is becoming more common and should be standard in all scrambling 2n and 4n auctions over spades. Obv the idea is you no longer get messed up with the strong heart hands when partner bids diamonds.

I am with jallerton and this matches similar auctions when the opps bid spades at the 2 or 4 level - direct heart bid good, NT then hearts competitive.
