So I just finished the beginner intro in reading music. McCormick explained various things about note duration in 4/4 timing. I was wondering how this translates to 3/4 timing, especially half notes. In 4/4 timing a half note is half the duration of the whole beat, so 2 beats. Is the duration of a half note in 3/4 timing 1.5 beats, or still just 2 beats (and you can't have 2 halve notes in one 3/4 bar)? I hope someone can clarify this! Thanks in advance.
