    5 is written as a normal quarter note, four quarter notes complete the bar, but the whole bar lasts only 4 ⁄ 5 of a reference whole note, and a beat 1 ⁄ 5 of one (or 4 ⁄ 5 of a normal quarter note). This is notated in exactly the same way that one would write if one were writing the first four quarter notes of five quintuplet quarter notes.

    Since it is equal to four quarter notes, it occupies the entire length of a measure in 4 4 time. Other notes are multiples or fractions of the whole note. For example, a double whole note (or breve) lasts twice the duration of the whole note, a half note lasts one half the duration, and a quarter note (or crotchet) lasts one quarter the duration.

    2: two half-note (minim) beats per measure. Notated and executed like common time (4 4), except with the beat lengths doubled. Indicated by . This comes from a literal cut of the symbol of common time. Thus, a quarter note in cut time is only half a beat long, and a measure has only

    For example, a tempo of 60 beats per minute signifies one beat per second, while a tempo of 120 beats per minute is twice as rapid, signifying two beats every second. The note value of a beat will typically be that indicated by the denominator of the time signature. For instance, in 4 4 time, the beat will be a crotchet, or quarter note.

  9. Alla breve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alla_breve

    Alla breve is a "simple-duple meter with a half-note pulse". [3] The note denomination that represents one beat is the minim or half-note. There are two of these per bar, so that the time signature 2 2 may be interpreted as "two minim beats per bar". Alternatively this is read as two beats per measure, where the half note gets the beat.
