In standard western musics, the smallest interval is the half-tone, or half-step. To tuners this is the equivalent of 100 cents. You can also calculate this by multiplying the frequency of the lower note by the 12th root of 2. Half steps are effortlessly indicated in the common staff system currently in use. There are some compositions by Messaien written for two pianos, tuned a quarter-step apart; the step-wise possibilities are not typically codable on standard staffs. On unfretted stringed instruments and on the Trombone one can play notes of any frequency within the instrument's range. This can also be done with the human voice, to great effect. These micro-tonal differences usually cannot be precisely notated on a staff, and many times the use of them is determined by the musical taste of the performer.

When one musical note has twice the frequency of another note the notes areapart?

When one musical note has twice the frequency of another note, the notes are an octave apart. In the context of music, this means that the higher note sounds like a more intense version of the lower note, and they share a strong harmonic relationship. For example, if the lower note is A at 440 Hz, the note an octave above it would be A at 880 Hz. This relationship is fundamental to musical scales and harmony.


How many thirty seconds notes in a dotted sixteenth note?

Rule of Three: Each note value contains within it, three of the next smallest note. Ex: one Quarter note equals three Eight notes, and one Half note equals three Quarter notes. So a Sixteenth note equals three 32nd notes.


By how much does a sharp or flat alter as a note?

No. On a certain note with both a sharp and flat, (G, for example) they are the same distance from G, but going in diferent directions. G sharp raises the note by one half step while G flat lowers the note by one half step. However, it is possible for a sharp note to mean the same note as a flat note. For example, G sharp is the same note as A flat. This is called being enharmonic.
