Help with music notes, please.?

Question

When a dot is added to a note, does that count toward the amount of beats per measure?

Answer 1

Yes, it counts toward the number of beats in a measure, but it doesn't change the number of beats in a measure. A dot adds 50% to the value of the note. So in common time (4/4), where a quarter note gets one beat, a dotted quarter note would get 1 1/2 beats. A half note getting two beats would get three if dotted.

Answer 2

It counts towards the amount of beats for the note... you don't add more beats to the measure. For example, a quarter note is worth one beat, but if there's a dot beside it, it's worth one and a half (usually followed by an eighth note), a half note is 2 beats, but with a dot, it's 3 beats. But you can still only have the same amount of beats per measure unless the time signature is changed (4/4 time signiture will always have 4 beats)

Answer 3

There are two kinds of dots that can be added to a note. One is on top of the note. This is called an accent, and it changes the way you play the note, you must do it very fast and a little louder, but you should respect the original tempo, so you should wait the same time as the duration of the note before playing the next note.
The other dot is on the right side of the note. This alters the duration of the note. You must play the note during the original period of time the note indicates, plus half that duration. This is already accounted for in the sheet music, so there's no need to worry about the beat.

Answer 4

No. The dot, which adds on half of the value of the note it's attached to, so you get one and one half times the original value of the note, doesn't affect the beats per measure in any way. If you're in 4/4 time, and have a dot in the measure, it's still going to be four beats in a measure, quarter note getting one beat.

Answer 5

Yes. It adds 1/2 of the value of the note.

Example: dotted quarter = quarter + eigth note You have 2 and 1/2 beats left in a 4-4 measure.

Dotted 1/8th = 1/8th + 1/16th, you now have 3 & 1/4 beats left in a 4-4 measure.

Answer 6

I play in a band a dot adds half the value of that note..

so yes it does effect the number of beats in a measure

Answer 7

NO. THE BEAT ALWAYS STAYS THE SAME. YOU CAN ADD AS MANY NOTES THAT YOU WANT. ALTHOUGH, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU HAVE A 4/4 BEAT. AND YOU SAY, YOU ADD A ONE MORE NOT, YOU SHOULD COUNT THE BEAT AS 1&A2&A3&A4

Answer 8

no... it just adds the amount of time that you sing or play that note

Answer 9

yes it does.This should get three counts
