To divide a note value to three equal parts, or some other value than two, tuplets may be used. Quantz in music of the 18th century and earlier the amount by which the dot augmented the note varied: it could be more or less than the modern interpretation, to fit into the context. The double dot was first used in 1752 by J. The rare three dots make it one and seven eighths the duration, and so on. A number of dots ( n) lengthen the note value by 2 n − 1 / 2 n its value, so two dots add two lower note values, making a total of one and three quarters times its original duration. This dot adds the next briefer note value, making it one and a half times its original duration. Shorter notes can be created theoretically ad infinitum by adding further flags, but are very rare.Ī note value may be augmented by adding a dot after it. (occasionally quadruple note or quadruple whole note) ĭouble whole note, double note (occasionally octuple note, octuple whole note, or octuple entire musical note)
Unmodified note values are fractional powers of two, for example one, one-half, one fourth, etc.Ī rest indicates a silence of an equivalent duration. In music notation, a note value indicates the relative duration of a note, using the texture or shape of the notehead, the presence or absence of a stem, and the presence or absence of flags/ beams/hooks/tails.
