A dot lengthens a note by half its value. For example, since a quarter note is equal to two eighth notes, a dotted quarter note will be equal to three eighth notes. The dotted note often appears as part of a dotted pair, in which it is combined with a short note equal to one-third of its value. Usually the dotted note comes first, as in figure 6. An additional dot adds half the value of the previous one, making the more unusual double dot.
