Best Answer

it is a quarter note.

edit: a quarter note represents 1/4 of a whole note.

if you have something in cut time, 2/2, a single beat would consist of a half note

if you have something with the bottom being a 4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/4, 5/4 ect., then a quarter note would represent one beat.

but overall a single note is just called that, a note. regardless of whole/half/quarter/eighth/sixteenth/thirty second note value.

Quaver. Depends what you mean by short, though. It could also be staccato.
