  Double whole note   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The note with the longest duration in Western music notation.
Although, the double whole is the longest duration, it is uncommon for it to be used in todayÕs music.
In common time (4/4, C), the double whole note has a value of eight beats.

  Double whole note - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A double whole note or breve is a note in music, lasting twice as long as a whole note (or semibreve).
In modern notation, a breve is represented by a hollow oval note head, like a whole note, with one or two vertical lines either side (as on the left of the image).
Double whole rests are drawn as filled-in rectangles occupying the whole space between the second and third lines from the top of the musical staff.

 Whole note - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most other notes divide the whole note; half notes are played for one half the duration of the whole note, quarter notes are each played for one quarter the duration, etc. The note twice the length of the whole note is the double whole note (or breve).
The whole rest, and occasionally the whole note, are also used in a more general way in time signatures other than 4/4; there they can represent the entire measure, regardless of how many whole notes would ordinarily fit in.
The French and Spanish names for the note (all meaning "round") derive from the fact that the semibrevis was distinguished by its round stemless shape, which is true as well of the modern form (as opposed to the double whole note or shorter values with stems).

 Musical notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Notes representing a pitch outside of the scope of the five line staff can be represented using leger lines, which provide a single note with additional lines and spaces.
Note names are also used for specifying the natural scale of a transposing instrument such as a clarinet, trumpet or saxophone.
The note names used are conventional, for example a clarinet is said to be in B♭ or A♭ (the two most common registers), never in A♯ and G♯, while an alto flute is in G. Note names can also be qualified to indicate the octave in which they are sounded.

 Note
When notes are written out in a score, each note is assigned a specific vertical position on a staff position (a line or a space) on the staff, as determined by the clef.
Each line or space is assigned a note name, these names are memorized by the musician and allows him or her to know at a glance the proper pitch to play on his or her instrument for each note-head marked on the page.
The remaining five notes of the chromatic scale (the fl keys on a piano keyboard) were added gradually; the first being B which was flattened in certain modes to avoid the dissonant augmented fourth interval.

 Philip Tagg | Note - EPMOW entry (2000)
According to this general meaning of the term, a note may be long, short, high, low, pitched, unpitched, loud, soft, sharp, rounded, etc. However, although a note may theoretically have any duration, it is virtually impossible to perceive as such if it sounds for less than 0.1 or for more than 12 seconds.
Pitched notes are named in either absolute terms (a b c d e f g etc.) or in relative terms (for example, doh re mi fa so la ti or sa ri ga ma pa dha ni).
Absolute note names are based on standard concert pitch (a at 440 Hz) while relative note names presuppose the fixation of doh, la or sa to any one pitch for the duration of a musical continuum, the other names denoting intervallic relationship to that doh or la (see tonic sol-fa, India).

 Speedy Key List
Then simply play in the notes you want on your synthesizer or with the pitch entry keys; all the notes will be entered with the duration you set, without requiring you to explicitly specify a duration for each one.
Thus to add a grace note, you must first enter the note "normally" using the note duration and pitch entry keys (before the note which the grace note is attached to), and then go back and press semicolon to convert it to a grace note.
Notes entered with the pitch entry keys are assumed to be diatonic within the key specified by the current key signature (i.e., if you are in the key of D major and press 'Q' to get a C, Finale will give you a C#).

Note that this means that a "real" space after the escape sequence must itself either be escaped or doubled.
Note that the right brace between the double quotes does not match the opening brace of the block, and that the second single quote is an escaped character, and thus doesn't match the first single quote:
Note that 'none' is a possible <'list-style-type'>: 'counter(x, none)' yields an empty string.

 Musical notation - One Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Pitch is shown using the diatonic scale, with accidentals to allow notes on the chromatic scale, and duration is shown in beats and fractions of a beat.
The notes of the 12-tone scale can be written by their letter names, possibly with a trailing sharp or flat symbol.
In both cases notes must be named for their diatonic functionality.

In the case of note entry, for example, the user chooses a symbol from an on-screen palette by means of the mouse pointer (or uses one of the user-configurable keyboard shortcuts), thus causing the cursor itself to change shape to that symbol.
Notes or rests belonging to a tuplet group are explicitly flagged as such in the Notelist.
In a single tuplet group all notes and rests must belong to the same voice and part (or instrument), although the notes and rests may appear on different staves within the part.

 NWCForum - Double-Whole notes
(Note, for example, that the English term for "double whole note", the longest note in current use (and that rarely), is "breve", which is from the Latin word meaning "short".
In this measure, a whole rest is used to indicate an empty measure; a half measure's rest is indicated by two half rests (I assume because the whole rest is already spoken for).
Various combinations of 1-measure (whole; semibreve), 2-measure (double whole; breve) and 4-measure (quadruple whole; ?) rests are used in parts to denote 2 to 7 consecutive measures of rest (2, 2+1, 4, 4+1, 4+2, 4+2+1).

Note that Omega is not solvable and has no head normal form (so we may think of Omega as the canonical representative of the unsolvable terms).
Note that if M ->>beta-eta N and x is free in N, then x must be free in M. Given a term and a set of redexes, a development is a reduction of the term in which only the redexes (and their residuals) may be contracted.
Note that this is continuous in y since the beta's are finite so that xy is the union of xy' for y' finite subsets of y.

 Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Notes & Rests
For all notes except the breve (double whole note) and semibreve (whole note), each note has a stem and, for the notes of shorter time-value, a flag, hook or tail (one flag for a quaver (eighth note), two for a semiquaver (sixteenth note), and so on).
Tied notes are treated as a single unbroken note whose duration is given by the duration of the notes under the tie taken successively.
He also added a new longer note, the double longa, which was a rectangular note about twice the width of a longa with a descending tail on the right.

 NWCForum - Breves (double whole note duration)
The old latin name for "whole note" ('ronde' in French) is semi-brevis, the 'ronde carrée' ("breve") being brevis --a full breathe.
With the passage of time, shorter notes than the breve were required and at first the semi breve (half short) came into being and then the minim, the name coming again from the Latin 'Semibreves minimae').
In due course the notes that were longer than the breve dropped out of common usage and so we are now left with the paradox of today's longest written note being called a breve (or short)

 Note lengths
The pitch of a note is given by its vertical position on the stave
Although the horizontal dimension of a stave represents the passing of time, this representation is not meant to be accurate or to scale, so the horizontal distance between different notes on a stave should not be used to judge the length of a note.
The time signature also specifies what length of note the beat is (usually crotchet or quaver, but sometimes minim) so this then governs the relative lengths of all other notes in the piece.

In descending order of duration, note values in common use range from the double whole note (the longest note value) to the 64th note (the shortest note value).
Each of these notes lasts exactly half as long as the note above it in the chart.

If the note should be in a different register than the one chosen by the command, you can ask for the notes pitch to be transposed an octave lower or higher.
You specify the notes to be selected by specifying the bar number, beat number and beat fraction that locates the first note to be selected, and the number of notes to the right, including that first note, that should be selected.
