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.

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).

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.
