semihemidemisemiquaver

A Demi Semi Quaver (32nd Note), pictured above, is a note that lasts for 1/8 of a beat. You can fit 32 of them in a bar, or 8 to each crotchet count, and they are twice as fast as semi quavers. Demi Semi Quavers are a solid circular note head with a vertical stem that has three tails coming out of the top.

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.

A semiquaver is represented by a filled notehead, or dot, and a stem with 2 tails.

For even faster values, you just keep dividing the note in half and adding a flag: the 512th note has seven flags or beams; the 1024th note takes eight flags; the 2048th note has nine flags; and the 4096th note has ten flags.

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.

In music, a thirty-second note (American) or demisemiquaver (British) is a note played for 1⁄32 of the duration of a whole note (or semibreve). It lasts half as long as a sixteenth note (or semiquaver) and twice as long as a sixty-fourth (or hemidemisemiquaver).

Anthony Philip Heinrich's Toccata Grande Cromatica from The Sylviad, Set 2, written around 1825, contains two 1024th notes (notated incorrectly as 2048ths).

In music, a thirty-second note (American) or demisemiquaver (British) is a note played for 1⁄32 of the duration of a whole note (or semibreve). It lasts half as long as a sixteenth note (or semiquaver) and twice as long as a sixty-fourth (or hemidemisemiquaver).

A semibreve (also known as a whole note) is one musical note that counts for four beats and is represented by a hollow circle with no stem.

An eighth note (quaver) is 1/2 of a beat. It takes eight of them to complete a measure. A sixteenth note (semiquaver) is ¼ of a beat. It takes sixteen of them to complete a measure!

In traditional Indian music, musical notes are called svaras and commonly represented using the seven notes, Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha and Ni. The eighth note, or octave, is given the same name as the first, but has double its frequency (first harmonic).

It would sound very lopsided. And chaotic. And finally there's actually also a psychological reason why we landed on the major scale. Having seven notes.
