What is a semi breave? ;-))



I guess a semi b'reave is when you're feeling half dead. A semibreve is a
whole note :-)


A breve is a whole note.

I beg to differ. A breve is two whole notes.

I have just checked your site. Your are right. Apols. It figures as
in the USA a quarter note is a crotchet. Senior moment

Well, quite a few of us are getting old and crotchety. Amusingly

have just done so :-)

No need to apologise, thanks all the same, it's all too easy to mix up these
obscure notations :-)
