| In terms of note lengths? |

| A punctuated note is usually short and accented. A triol is a general term that refers to three evenly spaced notes (e.g., triplets). |

| One other thing I'll add just to confuse you is that sometimes you will see a "dotted" note (notated as a note with a dot immediately to its right) referred to as a punctuated note. This can be utterly confusing because a dotted note is 50% longer than the non-dotted note. In other words, for example a dotted half-note is equal to a half-note plus half its length (i.e., a quarter note), or one note that is equal to three quarter notes in total length. I hope that makes sense. |

That is music theory for you.
Thanks for the reply. |

Turns out in Sylenth1:
1/8th is 1/8th
1/8D is a dotted note in the traditional sense.
So 1/8D is = to 3/16(1/8 + 1/16 = 3/16)
1/8T is triplet time.
You know...I don't know why they call it "punctuated" instead of "dotted." "Dotted" would make a lot more sense. |
