Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...
A single eighth note, or any faster note, is always stemmed with flags, while two or more are typically beamed in groups. [1] In modern practice, beams may span across rests in order to make rhythmic groups clearer. In vocal music, beams were traditionally used only to connect notes sung to the same syllable. [2]
Variation is often contrasted with musical development, which is a slightly different means to the same end. Variation depends upon one type of presentation at a time, while development is carried out upon portions of material treated in many different presentations and combinations at a time. [1]

Dotted notes and their equivalent durations. The curved lines, called ties, add the note values together. In Western musical notation, a dotted note is a note with a small dot written after it. [a] In modern practice, the first dot increases the duration of the basic note by half (the original note with an extra beam) of its original value.
Hundred twenty-eighth notes beamed together. In music, a hundred twenty-eighth note (North American) or semihemidemisemiquaver [1] [2] or quasihemidemisemiquaver [3] is a note played for 1 ⁄ 128 of the duration of a whole note. It lasts half as long as a sixty-fourth note. It has a total of five flags or beams.

The naming of individual Cs using the Helmholtz system. Helmholtz pitch notation is a system for naming musical notes of the Western chromatic scale.Fully described and normalized by the German scientist Hermann von Helmholtz, it uses a combination of upper and lower case letters (A to G), [a] and the sub- and super-prime symbols ( ͵ ′ or ⸜ ⸝) to denote each individual note of the scale.
