When there is a dot after a note it means that you add on half of the note's value, for example, a note that lasts for one beat without a dot will have a value of one and a half beats with a dot.

a dotted quarter is worth one and an half beats.
A dotted half note is worth three beats.
a dotted whole note (which is rare) is worth six beats.
etc.
etc.

∙ 14y agoIf the dot is next to the note head, it means to add to the note half the duration of the note without the dot
So if a quarter note is dotted, it is held for the duration of 3 eighth notes.

Ex.)(In 4/4 timing)
- A dotted quarter note would be held for 1 and a half beats.
- A half note would be held for 3 beats

∙ 13y agoit depends on the note. in four four time, after a quarter note (one beat), it makes it one and a half beats. after a half note (two beats), it makes the note three beats. with other time signatures, it gets more confusing.

∙ 10y agoOn sheet music, when you have a note that has 2 dots to the right of the note, te length of the note is lengethened. The first dot means that you half the amount of the regular note, and make it a tie with the original note. So, for instance, a dotted quarter note would be Quarter + Eigth.
Now, the second dot means you make a tie with the dotted note, by halfing the dot amount. So, in example, A double-dotted quarter note would be Quarter + Eigth + Sixteenth.
Mostmusical compositions have 2 dots, at the most, but more have been known to occur. So, with the first dot, you half the value of the original note and tie it along, and with each extra dot, you half the dot that precedes it, and tie it along with the original note and dot(s) that have already been tied.

∙ 14y agoim pretty sure it means that the note needs to be held for an extra beat :)

∙ 12y agoIt means the duration of the note is increased by 1/2.
