Sixteenth note

Source 📝

62: 359:(or on the middle line, in vocal music). When they are on the middle line (in instrumental music) or above it, they are drawn with stems on the left of the note head, facing down. Flags are always on the right side of the stem, and curve to the right. On stems facing up, the flags start at the top and curve down; for downward facing stems, the flags start at the bottom of the stem and curve up. When multiple sixteenth notes or eighth notes (or thirty-second notes, etc.) are next to each other, the flags may be connected with a 85: 177: 153: 607: 169: 77: 51: 188: 220: 287: 194: 274: 261: 248: 207: 233: 355:), which denotes a silence for the same duration. As with all notes with stems, sixteenth notes are drawn with stems to the right of the notehead, facing up, when they are below the middle line of the 138: 436: 504: 107: 347:(see Figure 1). A single sixteenth note is always stemmed with flags, while two or more are usually beamed in groups. A corresponding symbol is the 40: 131: 497: 470: 445: 431: 70: 124: 100: 176: 152: 606: 84: 596: 591: 490: 69: 586: 93: 67: 68: 406: 168: 76: 65: 66: 662: 576: 368: 581: 546: 466: 441: 390: 372: 329: 309: 317: 39: 536: 656: 541: 427: 356: 363:, like the notes in Figure 2. Note the similarities in notating sixteenth notes and 46:
