What is added to Notes that are shorter than a quarter note?
Notes smaller in duration than a quarter note have flags. Each flag halves the value of a note. Therefore, two quavers occupy the same amount of time as one crotchet. A sixteenth note has two flags, halving the value again.
What does it mean when a note has a flag?
The mark added to a note stem to indicate the beat division of that note. A flag added to any note will cut the duration of that note in half. For example a quarter note with a flag added to it is one half the duration of the quarter note (i.e., eighth note).
When you add a flag to the stem of a quarter note it becomes which type of note?
Eighth note
How many quavers are in a Minim?

What are the types of dotted notes?
Dotted notes are notes with a small dot written after them. A dot increases the length of a note by one half its value. A dotted quarter note is equal to a quarter note tied to an eighth note (quaver). A dotted half note is equal to a half note tied to a quarter note (crotchet).
What is a dotted 8th note?
Remember that a dot placed to the right of a notehead is an indication to tie half of that note value to the existing note. Therefore, a dotted eighth note equals an eighth tied to a sixteenth, or three sixteenths tied together.
How much is a dotted note?
The dot adds one-half of the duration value of the note to itself. For instance, one half the value of a half note is a quarter note. Therefore, a dotted half note is the time value of a half note plus a quarter note.
How do you count a dotted half note?
The half note gets two beats; so you will play the note and count to two. The dotted half note gets three beats and the duration with four beats is the whole note.
What does a dotted note sound like?
A dotted note sounds as long as the original note (i.e. without the dot) plus half of the length of the original note. Any dotted rhythm can also be written as two notes tied together, with the second note half the length of the first.
What is the value of dotted sixteenth note?
1/4
