A beam is used to replace flags when 8th notes or quavers or notes of shorter duration are grouped together 在较短时值的八分音符组合在一起时,连音线用于代替符尾。
A double dotted half note or minim is equal in length to three quarter notes or crotchets and an 8th note or quaver 半音加两个符点,时值等于三个四分音符或一个八分音符。
Thus 3 / 4 indicates three quarter notes or crotchets in a measure ( bar ) , 4 / 2 indicates four half notes or minims , 6 / 8 indicates six 8th notes or quavers 3 / 4表示一小节有三个四分音符, 4 / 2表示四个二分音符, 6 / 8表示六个八分音符。
A single beam may join 8th notes or quavers , with a double beam for 16th notes or semiquavers , a triple beam for 32nd notes , and so on 单连音线可以加在八分音符上,双连音线可以加在十六分音符上,三连音线加在三十二分音符上,以此类推。
