Members Jono-60 Posted March 30, 2008 Members Posted March 30, 2008 I have a bass riff which I am trying to input into Guitar Pro but I am having trouble getting the timing right. I cant get my head around note durations. This is what it looks like in a piano roll matrix. Lets split the bar into 16ths. I wont put the actual notes in as its irrelevant. * is a quarter note, not sure what the others would be. xxxx|xxxx|xxxx|xxxx* * ? ? ? How would I transcibe that timing to the staff? I hope its not too confusing.
Poparad Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Assuming all the notes are long, and not cut short with rests placed in between: Beat 3 would be a dotted eighth note and a sixteenth note. That sixteenth note would tie into the same rhythm on beat 4 (dotted 8th and 16th).
Members Jono-60 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Members Posted April 1, 2008 I actually typed out that matrix incorrectly! Nevertheless, you post helped a lot as it was all about the dotted notes. Got it sorted now, thanks a lot.
