2 2 time, sometimes referred to as 'cut time', has 2 beats per measure, each beat is a half-note. So a measure is equal to one whole note

Therefore, an eighth note is one-eighth (1/8) of a measure.

If you're asking the value per beat... there are 2 quarter notes per beat, and there are 4 eighth notes per beat. Or, an eighth note is one-quarter (1/4) of each 'beat' in the measure.

You might count this as: One E An Uh, Two E An Uh

What is a rhythmic note with three beats?

It really depends on your time signature (that is what defines a beat as). In terms of the most common time signature 4/4, the note that has a rhythmic value of three beats is called a dotted half note.


What is the equivalent of a half note?

The decimal value of the half note would depend on two things in the time signature: 1. The value of a whole note, denoted by the bottom number in the signature. 2. The number of beats, denoted by the top number in the signature. Let n be the value of a half-note as the length of a measure. Then n = (bottom number/2)/top number


A dotted half note has beats when the time signature is 44?

In a 4/4 time signature, a dotted half note receives three beats. The dot adds half the value of the note (which is 2 beats for a half note), resulting in a total of 3 beats. Therefore, when played in a measure of 4/4, a dotted half note occupies the majority of the measure, leaving one beat remaining.


How many beats does the quarter note receive in the time signature?

The bottom note of a time signature determines the value of a beat. For example in 3/4 time (4 at the bottom:quarter note beats), a quarter note takes one beat. In 3/2 time (2 at bottom:half note beats), a quarter note takes half a beat.

A note worth half a beat?

It depends what the time signature is; if the time signature is 4/4 then a note worth half a beat would be an eighth-note. If the time signature is in say 6/8, then half a beat would be a sixteenth-note. Usually music is in quarter beats, so most probably an eighth-note for you.

What does a dotted crochet mean?

In music notation, a dotted crochet is a note value that is equivalent to a crochet (quarter note) tied to a half of its value. This means that a dotted crochet lasts for 1.5 beats in a 4/4 time signature. It is represented by a crochet with a small dot placed next to it, indicating that its duration is extended by half of its original value.
