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.
