Hi all
Please see attached picture.
On the 8th bar, treble (or last bar in this picture), there is a black quarter note/crotchet with two dots. My understanding is that adding one dot would mean that the quarter/crotchet is now worth “1- e - & - a- 2.” Adding a second dot means that it is now worth “1 -e - & -a- 2 -e” (assuming that we’d count semi quavers / 16th notes 1- e -& -a)??
No dot- 1 -e- &
One dot- 1- e -&- a- 2 (half of notes value is added)
Two dots - 1- e -&- a -2-e (half of the added notes value is added- e)
But then assuming that the above is correct, how how do I count the semi quaver/ 16th note at the end of the bar? If I’d hazard a guess, it’d be like:
Double dotted quarter note/crotchet: 1 -e - & -a- 2- e
Semi quaver : &
Total - 1-e - & - a -2-e- & - no "a" on the end?
Thanks as always
