connecting note

Who's reading sheet music to read stems instead of flags if there's a lot of the same succession of notes of the duration ISM notes. So let's change this let's go e f G. A B a G F and then e.

Usually when composers (or editors) engrave beams this way it's because they want the performer to perceive the joined notes as being part of the same "rhythmic unit" or grouping. In other words, you could think of the rest as another "note" that connects the two surrounding notes.

One line would mean eighth-notes alternating. Two lines would mean sixteenths. Three lines means 32nds. In practical use, three lines means "fast notes, not necessarily 32nds".

A brace is used to connect two or more lines of music that are played simultaneously, usually by a single player, generally when using a grand staff.

When you see a tie, play the first piano key, but instead of playing the second one, hold the key down for the value of the second note. In the previous example you would hold the tied C for the second beat, just as if you were playing a half note.

Glissando lines indicate a continuous transition between two notes, which can be smooth or in chromatic steps. They can have straight lines or wavy lines, and can be shown with a text indication or as a line without text.

Beams are used to connect any similar notes with duration of less than a quarter note, as long as the notes are in the same unit within a measure. In instrumental music, beams are the preferred way of notating note values less than a quarter note.

When you see a tie, play the first piano key, but instead of playing the second one, hold the key down for the value of the second note. In the previous example you would hold the tied C for the second beat, just as if you were playing a half note.

The dashed line indicates that the note at the bottom of it is connected to the right hand melody. Regard that note as part of the melody. Copy link CC BY-SA 3.0.

Types of Articulation A few of the basic or most common articulation markings are: Legato – Italian for “tied together,” legato indicates the musical notes are played or sung smoothly and connected.

In music theory, notes with less rhythmic value than a quarter note, such as an eighth or sixteenth note, have “tails” attached to them. Connecting several notes with tails is what we call “beaming.” Beaming notes together is important because it makes sheet music significantly easier to read.

In music notation, a tie is a curved line connecting the heads of two notes of the same pitch, indicating that they are to be played as a single note with a duration equal to the sum of the individual notes' values.
