Each note or rest determines the amount of beats in for a note or rest. The time signature of a song consists of two numbers, the top number represents how many beats in a measure, and the bottom number represents how many beats a whole note gets. In 4/4 timing (4/4 being the time signature) a whole note/rest gets four beats and a measure consists of four beats. Therefore: Half note/rest- Two Beats Quarter note/rest- One beat Eighth note/rest- Half of a beat Sixteenth note/rest- Quarter of a beat and so on to 32nd, 64th, etc. Another coming time signature includes 2/2 (cut time) where a whole note/rest gets two beats and there are two beats in a measure. Therefore: Half note/rest- One Beat Quarter note/rest- Half of a beat Eighth note/rest- Quarter of a beat Etc. Other common time signatures include 3/4 (three beats to a measure), 2/4, and 6/8. Follow the same process in deriving the number of beats in a note or rest.
semi quaver 0.25 beat(like a 7 with an extra line under the top stroke), quaver 0.5 beat (like a 7), crochet 1 beat (like a reverse z with a loop down the bottom), minim 2 beats(a little half box sitting on the 3rd line), semibreve 4 beats (a half box hanging from the 4th line)
There are two beats in a minim rest. A minim is a two beat note so a minim rest would be a two beat note where your not playing!Fizzysweete
A corresponding rest to a minim note is the minim rest. It is also known as half note rest. The half note rest denotes silence for two beats.
A musical rest that has 4 beats is called a whole rest. It indicates a complete measure of silence in common time (4/4). Just like a whole note, a whole rest occupies the entire duration of the measure, allowing for a pause in the music.
it has the same value as a quarter note.
The amount of beats per note really depends on the key, but in a typical 4-4 here would be the counts: Whole note - 4 beats Half note - 2 beats Quarter note - 1 beat Eighth not - 1/2 beat

A whole rest is equivalent to four beats of silence in a measure, typically used in 4/4 time. It is represented by a rectangular shape hanging from the second line of the staff. Just like a whole note represents four beats of sound, a whole rest indicates a complete measure of rest.
there are different kinds of rests and their beats you would have to look at the beginning of the measure to find out what the BPM is most likely it would be a 4/4 beat meaning 4 beats a measure. some of the rests are half rests-2 beats quarter rests-1 beat and a full rest-4 beats
Another name for a minim rest is a half note rest. It denotes a duration of two beats of silence in music, corresponding to the length of a half note.
it has the same value as a quarter note.
