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
A half note is equivalent to four beats in 4/4 time. Since a 32nd note is one-eighth of a beat, there are 32 32nd notes in a half note. Thus, a half note contains a total of 32 32nd notes.
Half a semibreve is a minim. As a semibreve is the equivalent of 4 crotchets, a minim (a hollow oval with a stem) is therefore worth 2 crotchets. In America, the semibreve is refered to as 'whole' note and the minim as a 'half' note. Hope this helps!
a dotted half note gets three beats. a "dot" adds half of the value of the note...for example half the value of a half note is one beat...so add that to the half note to get 3 beats
another name for a half note is a minimum note .....................lady davis
Only one thing. A dotted half-note. The dot extends the length of a note by one-half. There is nothing in notation that stands for a three/quarter note.
It is equivalent to half a whole note, or two beats.

A whole note is a note in music that is four beats long. A half note is a note in music that is two beats long.

A half note is usually just called a half note. Sometimes it is called a minim.
A whole note is a note in music that is four beats long. A half note is a note in music that is two beats long.
The sound of the half note depends on which note is being played. A half note represents length, not tone.
That would be the equivalent of a half note. In other words, a sound lasting two beats (assuming a quarter note gets a beat).
2 beats
