It depends on the note, or on the musical notation.
You can have something called a fermata, which looks like a semi circle with a dot in the center, over a note, and that means that you can hold it out for a reasonable amount of time before moving on.


You can also have a dotted quarter note, dotted half note, and dotted whole note, in which case you are to hold it out for a certain amount of time, depending on which one it is.
