The name of the note that carries the beat differs based on the time signature (ex. 4/4) The top number of the time signature indicates how many beats are in a measure. The bottom one shows what type of note is a full beat. For instance, in the time signature 6/8, the measure is made up of six eighth notes. The most common time signature is 4/4, where the measure contains four quarter notes. In that case, two half beat notes are two eighth notes strung together

How much are each music note worth?
A whole note is worth 4 beats, a half note is worth 2 beats, a quarter note is worth 1 beat, an eighth note is worth 1/2 a beat, a sixteenth note is worth 1/4 of a beat, a dotted half note is worth 3 beats, and a dotted quarter note is worth 1 and a 1/2 beats.
What dotted music note equals three fourths of a count?
It depends on what the count is. If it's 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4, where the quarter note is one beat, then three fourths of a quarter note is a dotted eighth note.If it's 2/2 time, for example, then a beat is a half note, then three fourths of that is a dotted quarter note.
