If the unit beat is considered to be a crotchet, a semibreve has 4 beats.
There are four crotchet beats in a semibreve.
There are 16 semiquaver beats in a semibreve.
A minim is equal to two crotchet beats, while a semibreve is equal to four crotchet beats. Therefore, there are two minims in a semibreve.
a semibreve lasts for 4 beats which is the same as 4 crotchets
A semibreve is the same as a 'whole note' in US notation. It is equal to 4 beats in 4/4 time.
Its half a semibreve which is two beats out of the four in one minum as a minum has two beats. Otherwise its two minums per semibreve which is 4. In short: Minum = 2 beats Semi = 4 beats 4/2 = 1/2 therefore half a semibreve per minum.
2 A minim lasts for 2 beats and a semibreve lasts for 4.
It is held for 6 beats.
A semibreve
4
In 4/4 time, a minim is 2 beats long. A dotted semibreve is 6 beats long. So 3 minims in a dotted semibreve.
