John,

You are 100% correct. I'm wrong.

I read your text but when I looked at your image, I interpreted it as a triplet of minim notes for some reason. Since each minim contains two crotchets, that's where I got the four notes from. My apologies for that.

As I was typing, it occurred to me that music notation is another system that has varying standards throughout the world. I don't know if the USA uses the terminology of minims, crotchets, quavers, semi-quavers, etc. Here in Australia, it's the standard system of nomenclature for music notation. I believe it's also big throughout Europe. Every time I write something regarding notes on these PG Music boards, I convert to 1/2 note, 1/4 note, etc., to make it easier for non-Australians. It seems that different names for the same thing abound everywhere!

It seems that when it comes to musics, inconsistencies are all over the place.

I hope that you and your family have an excellent Christmas and New Year,
Noel
