  Half note   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In music, a half note (American) or minim (Canadian) is a note played for one half the duration of a whole note, hence the name.
Half notes are notated with a hollow oval note head (like a whole note) and a straight note stem with no flags (like a quarter note; see Figure 1).
Half rests are drawn as filled-in rectangles sitting on top of the middle line of the musical staff.

Such a note may be a pitchless sound, like a drum beat or a hand clap, or it may be an entire chord rather than a single note.
Note: A dot that is someplace other than next to the head of the note does not affect the rhythm.
The beams may connect notes that are all in the same beat, or, in some vocal music, they may connect notes that are sung on the same text syllable.

 Rhythm and Pitch         Notation     Meter
The relationship between notes is fractional, meaning that a half note is one-half of a whole note.
The common practice in deciding the note values of the tuplet is to squeeze the notes into the usual value (like 3 eighths playing in the time of 2 eighths) instead of expanding the notes (like three sixteenths in the time of four sixteenths).
In 6/4, however, the second half note would be shown as two quarter notes tied, because the location of the second beat needs to be shown.

 Music Theory: Reading Music: Notating Rhythm
Whenever a quarter note occurs in the score, this indicates that the musician is to play a note that lasts for one beat.
For instance, a dotted half note lasts three beats: two for the half note, and an additional one (half of the original two) for the dot.
While the quarter note is the usual unit for the beat, it is not uncommon to use the half note or the eighth note.

For instance, if we tie a quarter note to a half note, we will get a note lasting three beats (same as a dotted half note).

 Theory Basics
Notes are either placed on lines (with a line running through their middle), or on spaces (flanked by lines).
On the keyboard you can see the half steps for the key of C Major occur when we go from E to F, then B to C. In the minor scale, the half steps are between the 2nd (Re) and 3rd (Me) note and the 5th (Sol) and 6th (Le) notes.
The half steps in "a minor" are still from B to C, then E to F, but they land in a different place on the scale and with their corresponding chords will sound entirely different.

 Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Note Groupings
The three quavers (eighth notes) are played in the time of two quavers (eighth notes), in other words the three quavers (eighth notes) divide a crotchet (quarter note) into three equal parts.
This implies that, for instance, 3 notes in a crotchet (quarter) are quavers (eighths), but 5 in a crotchet (quarter) are semiquavers (16ths).
A quaver note (eighth note) followed by two quaver rests (eighth rests) should be shown as such but two quaver rests (eighth rests) followed by a quaver note (eighth note) is best shown as a crochet rest (quarter rest) followed by a quaver note (eighth note).

Dots are placed after note heads to change the duration of a note.

 Note lengths
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.
When learning rhythms and note lengths, it is common to count the beats, and say "and" where there is a half-beat division.

 NWCForum - Can certian note patterns be entered?
There are certian note patterns in the scores I have been entering which I have not found any way to represent gracefully.
A typical example would be a 4/4 measure containing a: Two half notes b: One quarter note, one half note, one quarter note The only way I have been able to do this is to split the half note in the second group into a pair of tied quarter notes.
One other alternative would be to use quarter note chords all the way and tie the appropriate notes to get the desired effect.
