You are most likely referring to a quarter rest, which means to stop playing for the time assigned to a quarter in the given time signature. If it is a really long squiggly line then you might be looking at a glissando, which basically means to glide from the top note to the bottom note indicated by the mark.

Notes that extend above or below the staff use what line?

There are two most commonly used staffs. These are called the treble staff (the higher staff with the swirly, twirly symbol), and the bass staff (the lower staff with a not so swirly symbol). The treble and bass staff have five lines and each. There are four spaces between these lines. The treble staff has names as follows... _____ F(line) E(space) _____ D(line) C(space) _____ B(line) A(space) _____ G(line) F(space) _____ E(line) The bass staff has names as follows... _____ A(line) G(space) _____ F(line) E(space) _____ D(line) C(space) _____ B(line) A(space) _____ G(line) I'm sorry if this looks confusing, but it is hard to show without images.


What does an F look like on a staff?

An F note on a staff is located on the first space of the treble clef, just below the first line, which is E. In the bass clef, it is found on the first line of the staff. In both clefs, the note can also be represented with a ledger line; in the treble clef, it appears one ledger line below the staff, while in the bass clef, it can be found one ledger line above the staff.

When do you have a redgreen squiggly line under your word what does it mean?

A number of computer programs and phone apps have built in spell-checkers. If the word you have used is not one which the computer/phone recognizes, it marks it with a squiggly red line. This does not necessarily mean that you have spelled the word wrong: it could be a proper noun, or a slang word, or a spelling which is not used by the geek who created the program. The squiggly line is only an alert; you must decide if the word actually needs changing.
