In Note, Chord, and Lyrics mode, durations are designated by numbers and
dots: durations are entered as their reciprocal values. For example, a
quarter note is entered using a 4
(since it is a 1/4 note), while
a half note is entered using a 2
(since it is a 1/2 note). For
notes longer than a whole you must use the \longa
and
\breve
commands
c'\breve c'1 c'2 c'4 c'8 c'16 c'32 c'64 c'64 r\longa r\breve r1 r2 r4 r8 r16 r32 r64 r64
If the duration is omitted then it is set to the previously entered duration. The default for the first note is a quarter note.
{ a a a2 a a4 a a1 a }
