Count 1-2 for a half note, and 1-2-3 for a dotted 1/2 note ( dotted minim). You can think of a dotted half note as equal to the length of one half note tied to a quarter note, or as three quarter notes tied together.
If it last two beats the dotted note lasts 3 beats. A dotted half note is equal to a half note tied to a quarter note ( crotchet). A dotted quarter note is equal to a quarter note tied to an eighth note (quaver). Provided crotchet is a double-dotted note, its new value will be one crotchet, one quaver, and one semi-quaver. Specifically, crotchet as a staff note has 1 beat which is equivalent to 2 quavers. Similarly one may ask, what is half the value of a dotted crotchet?Ī dot increases the length of a note by one half its value. This is a crotchet with two dots by its right side also known as Double Dotted Quarter Notes. Compound triple time signatures such as 9/8 are similar except they have 3 dotted beats per. 7 : dotted eighth note (dotted quaver), duration 750 milliseconds. The main beat in 6/16 is a dotted quaver (dotted eighth note). 6 : eighth note (quaver), duration 500 milliseconds. As with the other compound time signatures, you have to divide the top number of the time signature by 3 to get the main beats. Adding this to the original value of the note (half a beat) we get three quarters of a beat. 6/16 has six semiquaver notes (sixteenth notes) in every bar. In the case of the dotted quaver (eighth note) this means the dot takes a quarter of a beat. a dotted quaver lasts for one and a half quavers.įurthermore, how much is a dotted quaver worth? Remember: The dot takes half the value of the note. Similarly, a dotted crotchet note lasts for 1 1/2 beats.Ī dot after a note increases its value by half again: a dotted crotchet lasts for one and a half crotchets. For example, a dotted whole note is no longer 4 beats, but is 6 beats. The only thing you need to know is that a dot extends the note or rest by half its original value.
