(other good information is possible to find on this page)

The quarter note is the most used note. The duration of it is 1 second. The whole note is to make long sounds, which duration is 4 seconds. The "rest" sign, or break sign, shows when to stop playing. The length depends on what sign it is, which are shown at the picture.


The lines have got names and they are sorted like on this picture to the right.
