Note Length Calculator

Calculates the length of whole, half, quarter, ... notes from the given tempo or BPM. BPM means beats per minute. The tempo indication always refers to a certain note value, often a quarter or three eighth note. It determines, how many of these notes are played within one minute. The higher the tempo and the larger the note value it refers to, the faster the music is. Common tempi are between 40 (very slow) and 200 (very fast). Enter tempo or bpm and the note it refers to. The duration of every note value will be calculated.
