A first dot adds one half the duration of the given note. A second dot adds one quarter of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the first dot). A third dot adds one eighth of the value of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the second dot).
Adding a dot to a note increases its duration by half its value.
A dot beside the note adds one half of the note value to itself. For instance, in 4/4 time a half note equals 2 beats, but with a dot beside the note it would become equal to 3 beats. Another example is a whole note in 4/4 time. The whole note would be equal to 4 beats, but with a dot, it would become equal to 6 beats.
It means that length of the note is increased by one half For example: a semibreve is a whole note, and in 4/4 time or 6/4 time (for example) is worth 4 beats. The addition of a dot means that an extra two beats is added to its duration. A minim is worth two beats. The addition of a dot means it is worth three beats. A crotchet is worth one beat. The addition of a dot means it is worth one and a half beats (or 6 quavers).
The dot adds half the value of the note to the note. For example, let's say you have. Quarter note. Last time I checked, it was equal to one beat. When you add the dot, it takes half of the value from The note it's with and adds it to the note. So quarter note plus dot makes it 1.5 beats. Let's use a half note. Two beats, right. Add a dot. Take half of two. That's one. Add it back to two. You now have three beats, or a dotted half note.
A first dot adds one half the duration of the given note. A second dot adds one quarter of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the first dot). A third dot adds one eighth of the value of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the second dot).
Adding a dot to a note increases its duration by half its value.
The dot at the right of a half note makes the half note one beat longer. The dot makes the note to the left of the dot half of the note value longer. For example a quarter note dot is one and a half beats in 4/4 time.
the second dot adds one quarter of its value
Anything with a dot is increased by half of the note's value. So if a note is worth 2 beats and it has a dot, then the dot is 1 which then makes the dotted minim 3 beats.
The dot by the right of the note adds half of the notes value. E.g. A minim (a two beat note) with a dot (half of it = 1 beat) makes a three beat note.
A dot beside the note adds one half of the note value to itself. For instance, in 4/4 time a half note equals 2 beats, but with a dot beside the note it would become equal to 3 beats. Another example is a whole note in 4/4 time. The whole note would be equal to 4 beats, but with a dot, it would become equal to 6 beats.

The dotted minim is a minim note in which the time value is extended by a half of its value by a dot.
It extends the note for exactly half its value. For example, a dotted half note is worth three beats. Half of a half note is one beat, add that on to the two beats a half note is already worth, and there you have it. Three beats. So, basically we have a half note: 2 We place a dot after it, this dot being worth half its value: 1 It becomes: 3 Half of a half note is not necessarily one beat. These dots have nothing whatsoever to do with beats. If you have a note with a dot after it, the length of that note is extended by 1/2 of that note's length. A second dot means it is extended a further 1/4. Completely irrespective of how many beats there are in a bar.
When there is a dot after a note it means that you add on half of the note's value, for example, a note that lasts for one beat without a dot will have a value of one and a half beats with a dot.
