[Menvi-discuss] Grouping sixteenth notes

[Kathleen Cantrell]

Jeanne, 
Dots 2-3 are the triplet indicator. You don’t use those to group four 16th notes. Only for triplets!

It’s the same thing with triplets. You would continue to use dots 3-6 for the first sixteenth in the group with the rest being the notes without 3-6, in other words, what look like eighth notes. By the way, just out of curiosity, I used to play trumpet. What are you brailling?

I understand I can group them together in a beat such that only the first sixteenth note contains dots 3 & 6 and the others don’t need that, as long as there are no eighth notes that immediately follow them.  However, today, I found multiple beats containing sixteenth notes, and I think one case where the entire measure contained only sixteenth notes. In this case, is it proper to use dots 3-6 for the first sixteenth note of each measure or should I be using dots 3-6 for each beat of the measure? I’m thinking maybe the latter as it makes things a little easier to read by recognizing each beat, but wanted to get clarification.
