BeauYou look at the beginning of the piece of music. If the music is in 6/8 time then an eighth note gets one beat and a quarter note gets 2 beats. If the music is in 3/4 times then a quarter note gets one beat and a half not gets 2 beats. If the music is in 2/2 time then a half note gets one beat and a whole note gets two beats.

How many beats does a dotted half note have?
A dotted half note will always get three beats because a dote adds half the value of the note to the note. So a half note = 2 beats, 1/2 of 2 = 1, so 2+1=3. If you are in 4/4, it equals three beats. If you are in3/4, it equals three. 2/4 and 2/2 cannot have a dotted half note because the value is too big. In 6/8, the value changes because the eighth note gets the beat instead of the quarter note. So then the dotted half note would get 6 beats, instead f three because everything is basically doubled. Hope that helps!!
How many beats does a minim have?
Like any other note, how many beats it is worth depends entirely on the time signature. But it is equivalent to a half note. The bottom number of the time signature indicates which note equals one beat. In 4/4 time, a quarter note gets one beat, so a minim would be equal to 2 beats. In 2/2 time (or 4/2, or anything else with a 2 on the bottom), a half note is one beat, so also a minim would be one beat.
What does shot duration mean in film?
