Study Notes

Dotted Notes

  • Dots are placed to the right of a note or rest, altering its duration.
  • The value of a dot equals half the duration of the note or rest it follows.
  • Example: A Dotted Semibreve has a total value of 3 Minims.

Key Examples of Dotted Notes

  • A Dotted Minim equals 3 Crotchets in total duration.
  • A Dotted Crotchet is equivalent to 3 Quavers in duration.

Doubly-Dotted Notes

  • A doubly-dotted note has two dots and increases its length by three-quarters.
  • The first dot adds half the original note's value, and the second dot contributes half of the first dot's value.
  • Example Calculation: A doubly-dotted Minim equals 3.5 beats (2 + 1 + 0.5).

Doubly-Dotted Crotchet

  • The value consists of components: 1 (the note) + 0.5 (first dot) + 0.25 (second dot), totaling 1.75 beats.

Dots on Rests

  • Dots placed after rests similarly increase their duration to match the effect on notes.
