  1. Sixty-fourth note

    In music notation, a sixty-fourth note (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. It first occurs in the late 17th century and, apart from rare occurrences of hundred twenty-eighth notes (semihemidemisemiquavers) and two hundred fifty-sixth notes (demisemihemidemisemiquavers), it is the shortest value found in musical notation. Sixty-fourth notes are notated with a filled-in oval notehead and a straight note stem with four flags. The stem is drawn to the left of the notehead going downward when the note is above or on the middle line of the staff. When the notehead is below the middle line the stem is drawn to the right of the notehead going upward. A single 64th note is always stemmed with flags, while two or more are usually beamed in groups. A similar, but rarely encountered symbol is the sixty-fourth rest (or hemidemisemiquaver rest, shown in figure 1) which denotes silence for the same duration as a sixty-fourth note. Notes shorter than a sixty-fourth note are very rarely used, though the hundred twenty-eighth note—otherwise known as the semihemidemisemiquaver—and even shorter notes, are occasionally found.

  1. sixty-fourth note

    A sixty-fourth note, also known as a hemidemisemiquaver in British terminology, is a note played for 1/64 of the duration of a whole note. It is represented by a filled-in oval notehead, like a sixteenth note, but has four flags on its stem. In a regular piece of music, the sixty-fourth note lasts for half of a thirty-second note or a quarter of a sixteenth note.

  1. Sixty-fourth note

    In music notation, a sixty-fourth note or hemidemisemiquaver is a note played for 1/64 of the duration of a whole note. It lasts half as long as a thirty-second note. Sixty-fourth notes are notated with a filled in oval note head and a straight note stem with four flags. The stem is drawn to the left of the note head going downward when the note is above or on the middle line of the staff. When the note head is below the middle line the stem is drawn to the right of the note head going upward. Multiple adjacent sixty-fourth notes may have the flags connected with a beam. A similar, but rarely encountered symbol is the 64th rest which denotes silence for the same duration as a sixty-fourth note. Notes shorter than a sixty-fourth note are very rarely used, though the hundred twenty-eighth note, and even shorter notes, are occasionally found. The names of this note vary greatly in European languages: "Semifusa" derives from the mensural notation corresponding to the modern sixteenth note.
