Best Answer

The name of the note that carries the beat differs based on the time signature (ex. 4/4) The top number of the time signature indicates how many beats are in a measure. The bottom one shows what type of note is a full beat. For instance, in the time signature 6/8, the measure is made up of six eighth notes. The most common time signature is 4/4, where the measure contains four quarter notes. In that case, two half beat notes are two eighth notes strung together

a half note

If 1 beat is a crotchet, which is a black dot with a stem, then 2 beats would be a minim, which is an empty circle with a stem.

What is the value of a half note in 2 2 time signature?

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

How many beats are there in 2-2 time signature?

This depends somewhat on the style of the music. The straight answer is 3/8 of a beat (a half note gets a beat in 2 2, a quarter note gets a half of a beat, etc.). This is true for all styles except older style swing. Swing was often written in cut time, but after the advent of the "walking bass" and despite the fact that the music was written in 2 2, it was generally interpreted as 4 4. Hence, in that style of music, a dotted eighth note receives 3/4 of a beat despite the implications of the time signature.
