Musical note - Onpu (English notation) note English

A notational symbol that indicates a note. Its shape indicates its time ratio, and its position on the staff indicates its pitch. The time ratio of a note is called its value, musical value, or time value. A symbol that indicates the time ratio of a rest is called a rest, and its position on the staff is generally fixed. A note consists of a note head, a tail, a hook, etc., but its essential part is the note head, and its position on the staff indicates its pitch. A tuplet is used when hooked notes are connected together. A dot is placed to the right of the note head or rest, and has half the musical value of the note. When there are two dots, it is called a double-dotted note, and the second dot has half the musical value of the first dot. A tuplet is a series of notes that is divided in a special way, for example by dividing a value that should be divided into two into thirds. Some tuplets contain rests or subdivisions.

Japanese:

音を示す記譜法上の記号。形によってその時間的比率を、譜表上の位置によってその音高とともに示す。ある音符のもつ時間的比率を価値、音価、時価などという。音の休止の時間的比率を示す記号は休符(休止符)といい、その譜表上の位置は原則として固定されている。音符は符頭、符尾、鉤(かぎ)などからなるが、その本質的な部分は符頭で、この譜表上の位置によってその音高が示される。鉤付きの音符が連なる場合には連鉤(れんこう)が用いられる。付点は、符頭や休止符の右に打たれ、これはその音符の半分の音価をもつ。付点が二つの場合は複付点音符といわれ、二つ目の付点は一つ目の付点の半分の音価をもつ。連音符とは、たとえば2等分すべき音価を3等分するなどの特殊な分割法をとる一連の音符のこと。連音符の内部に休符や細分を含むものもある。
