Yes, shape and colour denote the duration of the note.
The shape of a note in musical notation indicates its duration or how long it should be played for in relation to other notes. The shape of the note also helps to convey the rhythm and timing of the music.
The bottom number indicates what duration of note gets the beat.
No. The shape of notes as they are written on sheet music shows you how long the note is played for. The pitch is represented by the position of the note on the stave.
A musical note that can be likened to a comma in punctuation is the quarter note. Just as a comma can indicate a pause in a sentence, a quarter note represents a brief pause or duration in music.
Notations that specify duration indicate how long to hold the note. This is how we create rhythm. If there were only one duration, all music would rhythmically sound the same and that would be boring.
The duration of Jaali Note is 2.58 hours.
The duration of A Last Note is 1.87 hours.
The duration of The Shape of Things is 1.6 hours.
The duration of Shape of the Moon is 1.82 hours.
Pitch and duration of the notes being played are clearly indicated when playing from staff notation. Pitch is indicated by the placement of the note on the staff (higher or lower) and duration is indicated by the shape of the note (whole note, half note, etc.) and any additional symbols such as dots or ties.
The duration of a note is indicated by whether the note head is filled in or not, and the number of flags on the stem.
