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)

If a composer wants to make a note last longer than a half note but not as long as a whole note what is placed to the right of the half note?
A dot to the right of any note, increases the time of the note by half. So a dot to the right of a half note, makes the note a three quarter note.
How many beats does a whole note dot get?
It depends on the time signature. If the time signature is x/4, the the whole note gets 4 beats. It also depends on where the dot is. If the dot is above the whole note, it gets two beats; if it is to the right of the whole note it gets six beats.
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 symbol for a music note for 3 beats?
A dotted half note. It looks like a quarter note that has an empty center, and it has a small, period-sized dot to the right of it.
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 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.
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.

How does a dotted half note look?
a half note with a small dot to the right of it (like a period)

What is Three beat notes called?
Well, there is no three beat note but it is possible to make one. One way is to take a half note, if the time signature is 4/4, and add a dot to the right of it. The dot will add half of the value of the note, which would be three beats because half of a half note is a quarter note. Another way to do this is to draw two quarter notes with a dot side by side on the same line or space. Then draw a curved line connecting them together, which is called a tie. If you take a minim (a two beat note shown with an open circle with a stem) and then put a dot on the right, that will be three beats and it would be called a dotted minim.
What does a line directly above a music note called?
Tenuto This symbol has several meanings. It usually indicates that it be played for its full value, or slightly longer. It may indicate a separate attack on the note, or a slight dynamic emphasis, or it may indicate legato, in contrast to the dot of staccato. Combining a tenuto with a staccato dot indicates a slight detaching ("portato" or "mezzo staccato").
