![]() ![]() ![]() Adding one to the original two makes three beats. The half note gets two beats, and half of two beats is one beat. Let's consider again: a half note in common time. Put another way, dots add half of the value of the note which they follow. If the quarter note is getting the beat, then a half note will be two counts and the quarter note would be one count-making dotted half notes three counts. The dot on the half note represents a tie to a quarter note. ![]() Let's first consider the dotted half note. Ties often go across a bar line.Ī dot after a note is shorthand for a tied note that is half the duration of the first note. It indicates to hold the pitch of the first note for the duration of the first note plus the duration of the second. In a tie, think of the second note being tied to the first. Because the notes in between are different, it is still a slur. Note that when more than two notes are slurred, the first and last note might be the same. It indicates to sustain the sound continuously through the total duration of all the notes tied together. A tie is a curved line that connects notes of the same pitch. It indicates that the notes are to be connected smoothly with no break between them. This slur connects notes of different pitch. ![]() In music notation, curved lines are used for both slurs and ties. ![]()
