Above a note, a dot signifies that the note is to be played Staccato (or, if beneath a slur; Portato). In 16th-century keyboard music, it may indicate chromatic alteration. To the right of a note, it indicates that the value of that note should be increased by half (in some earlier notations and systems of performing practice, the modification may be different). In early mensural notation, a dot may indicate a rhythmic division. Dots in vertical pairs or groups of four alongside a double bar or a bar-line indicate a passage to be repeated.
