@waltribeiro@OneChance99 ...Wrong, because the dotted whole note would just play straight into the next measure in 4/4 time, and if you wanted to play that same note again you would wait till the 3rd beat next measure. So in measure 1 a dotted G# sharp whole note would last for 6 beats as requested, until the next measures 3rd beat in 4/4 time.
It almost the same as a Tie-note situation, the note must sustain as written in the music piece, unless you're improvising. Cheers from LA! ;)
Why couldn't a String section play a dotted hole note in 4/4 time? Music doesn't stop at each measure does it? So the dotted whole note can in fact be played and written for 4/4 time, especially for Strings!
Hold down a synthesizer string patch for six beats in 4/4 time and the Answer is Yes. You will stop at the 3rd beat of the next measure. 1-2-3-4. 2-2-STOP. Hope that helps :)
@waltribeiro. a dotted whole note can be the equivalent to a 6-beat TIE, which is fairly easy to teach the student(s). so the dotted whole note is just another way to tie-in extra time on a note or chord in 4/4 or 3/4, etc.
yes, it's a matter of whatever works for the musician/composer. I was trying to prove that you can have a dotted whole note in 4/4 common time, is all I'm saying. in a 4/4 ENDING measure you cannot have a dotted whole note, but before that you can :)
I have a question: How would you write 1 1/4 beats? Is there a way to write that without having to use ties? Is there a symbol that stands for half a dot?
When you have a whole note and two quarter notes, that does not mean that you hold on the hole note in 6 beats, but in 4beats, and then you press two more notes each in one quarter note, which equals 6. But when you have the whole note and a dot, it simply means that you hold on to the hole note in 4+0.5times(4) which equals 6 beats..
Did I understand this, or am I completly wrong ? Thank you so much Walt.

Does anyone know if a dotted quarter note is the same as an eighth note triplet like having three eighth notes tied together? please reply.

you cant have a dotted whole note if its 4/4 time? right?
OneChance99 3 years ago
correct - because that would be 6 beats in a measure of 4

@DICACIO1 well if you're throwing in ties, then yes. but that seems a bit technical. whatever works.

Thanks! You make great vids, but just one question. What if i want a note that lasts 5 beats? What does that look like?
Erlendolsen 3 years ago
go to my website and do a search for 'ties' and 'slurs'. Basically, for that you would tie a whole note to a quarter note.

But when you have the whole note and a dot, it simply means that you hold on to the hole note in 4+0.5times(4) which equals 6 beats..

Kind of, yea. The dot adds half the notes' duration to itself. So a dotted whole note is 4+2=6 beats. A dotted quarter note is 1+.5 = 1.5 beats.
