The word "crotchet" comes from Old French crochet, meaning 'little hook', diminutive of croc, 'hook', because of the hook used on the note in black notation of the medieval period. As the name implies, a quarter note's duration is one quarter that of a whole note, half the length of a half note, and twice that of an eighth note.
Crotchet Castle is the sixth novel by Thomas Love Peacock, first published in 1831. [ 1 ] As in his earlier novel Headlong Hall , Peacock assembles a group of eccentrics, each with a single monomaniacal obsession, and derives humour and social satire from their various interactions and conversations.

The system of note types used in mensural notation closely corresponds to the modern system. The mensural brevis is nominally the ancestor of the modern double whole note (breve); likewise, the semibrevis corresponds to the whole note (semibreve), the minima to the half note (minim), the semiminima to the quarter note (crotchet), and the fusa to the eighth note (quaver).
The quarter (crotchet) rest (𝄽) may take a different form in older music. [1] [2] [3] The four-measure rest or longa rest are only used in long silent passages which are not divided into bars. [citation needed] The combination of rests used to mark a silence follows the same rules as for note values. [4]
For the dancing games, players hit one of four different buttons or tap one of four different icons [4] when falling icons hit indicators at the bottom of the screen. [3] The game allows players to choose a difficulty level for the rhythm games, [2] and reaching a certain score during the dancing games affects the game's story and ending. [2] [3]
