A dot after a note adds half of the given value/length so a crotchet (1 beat) with a dot after it is essentially a crotchet tied to a quaver (½ beat) or 1 and a ½ crotchets. A minim (2 beats) with a dot is 3 beats long.

What is the dot next to a note on the cello?
The dot next to a note increases its length by half of its original length. For example, the dotted half note. The dot increases the half note's length by half of its original length (which is 2 quarter beats) so the dotted half note is worth 3 quarter beats. It also works on rests. This also applies to other instruments.
What does a dot beside a note do to the note's rhythm?
A dot beside the note means that you had on half the value of the note. Sounds weird, but to take it simplier. Say you have a minum (2 beats) which has a dot on it. You add on 1 beat so that the note is now 3 beats long.
What does a dot do to the length of a note?
A first dot adds one half the duration of the given note. A second dot adds one quarter of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the first dot). A third dot adds one eighth of the value of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the second dot).
What does a dot at the right of a note indicate?
That dot at the right of the note signifies that one is intended to hold the note for the length of the note with the dot + half of itself again. i.e. one would hold a dotted quarter note for one and a half beats (depending, of course on the meter)
Explain what a dot after a note does to the value of the note?
A dot beside the note adds one half of the note value to itself. For instance, in 4/4 time a half note equals 2 beats, but with a dot beside the note it would become equal to 3 beats. Another example is a whole note in 4/4 time. The whole note would be equal to 4 beats, but with a dot, it would become equal to 6 beats.

How does the dot to right of the note affect how long that note last?
The dot by the right of the note adds half of the notes value. E.g. A minim (a two beat note) with a dot (half of it = 1 beat) makes a three beat note.

When a dot is placed after any note what dies it mean?
It extends the note for exactly half its value. For example, a dotted half note is worth three beats. Half of a half note is one beat, add that on to the two beats a half note is already worth, and there you have it. Three beats. So, basically we have a half note: 2 We place a dot after it, this dot being worth half its value: 1 It becomes: 3 Half of a half note is not necessarily one beat. These dots have nothing whatsoever to do with beats. If you have a note with a dot after it, the length of that note is extended by 1/2 of that note's length. A second dot means it is extended a further 1/4. Completely irrespective of how many beats there are in a bar.
What does it mean if you put a dot next to a music note?
If it is next to the note it multiplies its length by 1.5. If it is above/below it, it is staccato, making the note short and separated
What can you add to the right of a note to increase its duration by half?
a dot. and two dots increases the length by 75%
What is the length of dotted note?
The dot adds half the value of the note to the note. For example, let's say you have. Quarter note. Last time I checked, it was equal to one beat. When you add the dot, it takes half of the value from The note it's with and adds it to the note. So quarter note plus dot makes it 1.5 beats. Let's use a half note. Two beats, right. Add a dot. Take half of two. That's one. Add it back to two. You now have three beats, or a dotted half note.
What is the effect of a dot at the right of a half note?
The dot at the right of a half note makes the half note one beat longer. The dot makes the note to the left of the dot half of the note value longer. For example a quarter note dot is one and a half beats in 4/4 time.
What happens if there a dot after a largo note?
A dotted note in modern music increases the length of a note by 50%. This means that a note that is normally 2 beats would be three. Largo simply means that the speed of the piece is very slow.
