The decimal value of the half note would depend on two things in the time signature:

1. The value of a whole note, denoted by the bottom number in the signature.

2. The number of beats, denoted by the top number in the signature.

Let n be the value of a half-note as the length of a measure. Then

n = (bottom number/2)/top number
