It means that length of the note is increased by one half For example: a semibreve is a whole note, and in 4/4 time or 6/4 time (for example) is worth 4 beats. The addition of a dot means that an extra two beats is added to its duration. A minim is worth two beats. The addition of a dot means it is worth three beats. A crotchet is worth one beat. The addition of a dot means it is worth one and a half beats (or 6 quavers).

The dot increases the duration of the note by 1/2 so, for instance, a dotted 1/4 note in 4/4 time will receive one and a half beats instead of one beat that the undotted (if there is such a word) quarter note would normally receive. Similarly, a dotted half note in 4/4 time would receive three beats, instead of the usual two.

when a dot placed after any note ,note the dot means that

A dot after a note means to add one half of the value of the note to itself. In other words, in 4/4 time, a half note gets two beats, but a dotted half note gets 3 beats.

A dot at the end of a note means that you add on half of that note's value to the original note's value. So a dot after a quarter note would mean the value would be that of a quarter note and an eighth note or 1.5 quarter notes. A dot after a half note would have the value of a half note and a quarter note: 1.5 half notes or 3 quarter notes. Etc. etc.

How do you locate lines beginning and ending with a dot using grep and sed commad?

grep can match the beginning of a line with the '^' character and the end of a line with the '$' character. Any character is matched by the '.' character, so to match a literal "." you will need to use the escaped '\.' sequence. Thus to match a line beginning with a dot and ending with a dot you would use:grep '^\..*\.$'This will match any line that both begins with a dot and ends with a dot, and has any characters in between.


A line has no beginning nor end?

it depends if a line has arrows on both ends its going to go on forever but if it has a dot on both ends it stops completely on both sides now the line can have an arrow on 1 side that means that side will go on forever but the other end could have a dot so that means it stops on that side completely.
