5. PROLONGATION SIGNS: DOT
The dot is a sign that increases the duration of a
figure or its silence.
The dot must be on the right of the figure or
silence.
The dot adds half of the value of the figure or
silence.
We can also use double dot.
6. PROLONGATION SIGNS: TIE
The tie joins two figures-notes which have same
name and also same pitch. The tie sums the
value of both figures. Two half notes (blancas)
sound exactly the same that one whole
note(redonda).
We cannot tie high do and low do.
Notes must have same pitch.
7. PROLONGATION SIGNS: HOLD
The hold is located on or under the figure
or silence. It keeps the sound as long as
the conductor decides.
