When there is a group of sixteenth notes, the first is always written as a sixteenth, while the rest are written as eighth notes. It makes it easier to read. One more thing. Before one, two or three groups, dots 2-3 appear, just as they do before triplets. If it’s more than three groups, you put double 2-3 before the first group, and one dots2-3 before the last one.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeanne Gallagher<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeanne50.gallagher@gmail.com<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Menvi-discuss <menvi-discuss-bounces@menvi.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Julie Novak via Menvi-discuss<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, October 18, 2023 7:04 PM<br><b>To:</b> menvi-discuss@menvi.org<br><b>Cc:</b> Julie Novak <julienovak_77@yahoo.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [Menvi-discuss] Sixteenth notes groupings rule<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Hi All, <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>This is my first question for this group. I'm confused by when the sixteenth notes start to look like eighth notes when they are grouped together. I notice in groupings of four, there will be a sixteenth note and the rest will look like eighth notes but we treat them as sixteenth notes. When I have a measure that truly has eighth notes and sixteenth notes in it, I'm confused about which are actually sixteenth notes. I've read the Music Braille Code book but I'm still not 100% clear on the rule. I'm wondering if one of you would kindly take the time to explain, Thanks in advance. I hope my question is clear. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Sincerely, <br>Julie Harrison <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
