How many beats are there in the eighth note?

This is an eighth note with dots. How many beats should be counted in music depends on the beat of the music.

For example, if the beat is 4/4, it will be 3/4 (the eighth note itself is half beat, and the dotted line is extended by half of the eighth note, which becomes three-quarters);

If it is 6/8th beat, count one and a half beats (one beat of the eighth note itself, and the dotted line extends half of the eighth note, which is one and a half beats);

Extended data:

Quarter notes and half notes (the order can be reversed)

For a triplet composed of three quarter notes, musically speaking, it is to divide the half note into three parts equally.

In the first case, two notes are combined into one note, that is, a triplet consisting of a quarter note and a half note. The meaning of the binary notes in this triplet is different from the meaning of the total tone length, which is 2/3 of the total tone length.
