Does
the
shape
of
a
note
make
any
difference
about
its
position
on
the
music
staff?
No,
the
shape
of
the
notes
do
not
have
anything
to
do
with
their
position
on
the
staff;
they
occupy
the
same
line
or
space
on
the
staff,
regardless
of
the
shap
of
the
note,
which
is
seen
by
reference
to
the
staff
set
out
above.
Comparative
Length
of
Notes.
A
TABLE
OF
THE
COMPARATIVE
LENGTH
OF
NOTES.
A

A
half

is
a
white

with
a

thus
:
A
quarter
note
is
a
black
note
with
a
stem,
thus:
An
eighth
note
is
a
black
note
with
a
stem
and
flag,
thus:
A
sixteenth
note
is
a
black
note
with
a
stem
and
two
flags,
thus:
A
thirty
second
note
is
a
black
note
with
a
stem
and
three
flags,
thus:
A
table
of
the
comparitive
lengths
of

A
whole
note
is
equal
in
length
to
Two
halves
or
Four

When
a

is
set
to
the
wright

the
note
it
adds
