hemidemisemiquaver rest

List

silence Rests are intervals of silence in pieces of music, marked by symbols indicating the length of the silence. Each rest symbol and name corresponds with a particular note value, indicating how long the silence should last, generally as a multiplier of a measure or whole note.

In music notation, a sixty-fourth note (North American), or hemidemisemiquaver or semidemisemiquaver (British), sometimes called a half-thirty-second note, is a note played for half the duration of a thirty-second note (or demisemiquaver), hence the name.

Semiquavers are known as sixteenth notes. There are also other less frequently used, longer and shorter note values: Breves or double whole-notes - each breve is twice the length of a semibreve. Demisemiquavers or thirty-second notes - Each demisemiquaver is half the length of a semiquaver.

The longest notated note is the longa, which could be double or triple the length of a breve, although its use is most commonly found in early music. The longest notated note (though now obsolete) is the maxima.

Sixty Fouth Note (Hemidemisemiquaver) You can get even shorter notes than this, such as the semihemidemisemiquaver (128th note) and the demisemihemidemisemiquaver (256th note), but I'm not going to cover those as they're extremely rare.

Each musical rest has its own value which is notated by a different symbol. The most common rests you'll encounter in modern music include a whole rest, a half rest, a quarter rest, and eighth rest, a sixteenth rest, and a thirty second note rest, though smaller subdivisions are less common.

A semiquaver is a musical note played for half the duration of a quaver. It has the time value of a sixteenth of a semibreve (whole note).

Quaver rest: A rest (silence) worth a half a crotchet beat. Semiquaver rest: A rest (silence) worth one quarter of a crotchet beat. Staff or stave: The lines and spaces on which musical notes are written. Bars with bar lines: Each bar (or measure) contains a certain number of beats.

Notation has to show how long each silence lasts, just as it shows how long sounds lasts. The signs used for silences are called rests. A silence lasting as long as a crotchet is indicated by a crotchet rest. A silence lasting as long as a quaver is indicated by a quaver rest.

Sixteenth note rest: Also called a semiquaver rest, a sixteenth rest looks similar to an eighth rest, but with one extra adornment. It lasts the length of a sixteenth note.

In music, a two hundred fifty-sixth note, or occasionally demisemihemidemisemiquaver (British), is a note played for 1⁄256 of the duration of a whole note. It lasts half as long as a hundred twenty-eighth note and takes up one quarter of the length of a sixty-fourth note.
