Will the whole note be held through to the next measure? craneclassical Registered User From: Atlanta, Ga Registered: 9/5/2003 posted: 1/24/2005 at 11:58:09 PM ET A whole note shouldn't be used in 6/8 time....a dotted half note is a full measure in 6/8 time Adam Crane artistic director CraneClassical Music Society "Music for the Masses" ...Bridging the Gap www.craneclassical.com Anonymous Anonymous Poster From Internet Network: 24.60.156.x posted: 1/28/2005 at 1:50:54 PM ET That makes a lot more sense. It was a bad print job, so it probably isn't a whole note. Thanks for answering. Do you think this topic is inappropriate? Vote it down.
