Entering and editing notes
Adding and editing notes
• The third number is the sixteenth note within the beat. Again, the time signature
determines the number of sixteenth notes to each beat. In a quarter note based
time signature (4/4, 2/4, etc.) there are four sixteenth notes to each beat, in an
eighth note based time signature (3/8, 4/8, etc.), there are two sixteenth notes,
etc.
• The last value is in ticks, with 480 ticks per quarter note (and thus 120 ticks per
sixteenth note).
The figures below show some note positions and their corresponding position values:
Eighth note positions
Eighth note triplet positions
Sixteenth note positions
