![]() ![]() Just for an extra bit of challenge, no bar lines at all are given. So all we have to do now is draw a bar line after every 4 crotchet beats: ‘How to Add Bar Lines’ answer for example 1 The crotchet itself, of course, takes up exactly 1 full beat. Since the beat is a crotchet beat, the minim (the half note) takes up 2 beats. This example is fairly simple so we don’t need those other steps. Remember that one note can take up any amount of beats: from half a beat (or less), to 4 beats (or more). This is why it’s so important to consider the value of the beat. Notice that I didn’t say “Every 4 notes must be grouped into a bar” but “Every 4 quarter note beats”. Every 4 crotchet beats must be grouped into a bar. Step 3: Now that we know that every bar must have 4 quarter crotchet beats, count the note values. We get to this answer by dividing the semibreve (the whole note) by that bottom number: 4. That means that the beats are crotchets (in US terms, quarter notes). Step 2: The bottom number of the time signature is also 4. That means we’re dealing with 4 beats in every bar. Step 1: The top number of the time signature is 4. Let’s move in steps as outlined in the 6 points above: The given time signature is 4/4 and only the first bar line is written.
