Meaning of Semifusa in Music
In music, the term "semifusa" refers to a note value that is played for half the duration of a sixteenth note or semiquaver. It is a very short note value and is rarely used in modern music notation. The term "semifusa" is derived from mensural notation, a system of musical notation used in the 15th century and earlier. In mensural notation, the semifusa corresponded to the sixteenth note or semiquaver .
