Halbenote

A half note is a musical note that has a time value equal to two quarter notes.

A quarter note (American) or crotchet (/ˈkrɒtʃɪt/ KROTCH-it) (British) is a musical note played for one quarter of the duration of a whole note (or semibreve).

In music, a note is the representation of a musical sound. Notes can represent the pitch and duration of a sound in musical notation. A note can also represent a pitch class.

A half note (minim) is 2 beats or half of a measure. A quarter note (crochet) is 1 beat or a quarter of a measure, meaning that four quarter notes are needed to complete a full 4/4 measure! An eighth note (quaver) is 1/2 of a beat. It takes eight of them to complete a measure.

Reading Music : Note Value

The Half Note looks like a circle and a line, or the letter "d." The Half Note receives a value of 2 Beats.

A quarter tone is a pitch halfway between the usual notes of a chromatic scale or an interval about half as wide (orally, or logarithmically) as a semitone, which itself is half a whole tone. Quarter tones divide the octave by 50 cents each, and have 24 different pitches.

So if i want to put another on beat. Two. That's two beats of music right and then another on beat.

Western music typically uses 12 notes – C, D, E, F, G, A and B, plus five flats and equivalent sharps in between, which are: C sharp/D flat (they're the same note, just named differently depending on what key signature is being used), D sharp/E flat, F sharp/G flat, G sharp/A flat and A sharp/B flat.

Likewise, he found that people could remember a sequence of up to seven tones, but not much more. This limit on short-term memory capacity was termed “the magical number seven, plus or minus two”. This may be one reason why we use seven notes in our scales, rather than 12, in order to help us remember more easily.

This number is always a power of 2 (unless the time signature is irrational), usually 2, 4 or 8, but less often 16 is also used, usually in Baroque music. 2 corresponds to the half note (minim), 4 to the quarter note (crotchet), 8 to the eighth note (quaver), 16 to the sixteenth note (semiquaver).
