Hi there, adding a dot to a chord duration prolongs it by 50%. "g4.",
for instance, is 1.5 beats or three 8th notes. "g4.." is 1.75
beats, I
believe. Which would translate into seven 16th notes. But what is
"g4..."? Here, with 3 dots.
g4... = 15/32
so 1,875 beats
Also, how can I describe a duration that lasts for 2.25 beats?
I've never thought in beats..
Anyway, it should be something like this maybe (lilypond code):
g2 ~ g16
assuming that
g4= 1 beat
g8= 0.5
g16= 0.25
g32= 0.125
and so on...
NO.
Wow, Kieren, I understand now.
A dot increases rhythmic value of each preceeding note by 50%. With
double-and triple dots, the later dots increase the value of the
previous dots.
so:
c4. = c4~ c8
c4.. = c4~ c8~ c16
c4... = c4~ c8~ c16~ c32
