Which musical note tells you to hold a note long?
There are several: * A "dot". A "dotted" note should be held for half again it's value. For example: a half note is held 2 beats; a dotted half note is held for 3 beats (2 beats + half of 2 beats, which 1 beat). * A tie. Often when odd note durations are required, two (or sometimes more) notes of the same pitch are written one after the other and then tied together with a curved line (called a "tie"). Most commonly, you see this when a note's duration would carry it across a measure boundary, but you also see it for other rhythm durations; for example, a note which should be help for a duration of 5 16ths, you would write a quarter note followed by a 16th note, both tied together. * A "fermata". A fermata looks like a eyeball (with the bottom curve missing) hovering above the staff. This indicates that the note/word should be held for as long as feels right. There is no pre-determined rhythm or timing for a fermata... it's just what feels right. This is often used over the last note in a song, or over the last note of a verse/chorus before transitioning to a different section of the song.
