Extended information

Related differences between whole notes: In vocal notation, a whole note is a note duration. In staff notation, a whole note is represented by a hollow oval note head. The length of a whole note is 4 times that of a quarter note, which is 4 beats in 4/4 time.

The sound length of "several quarter" notes in similar music scores is one-half of the corresponding whole note: the sound length of a half note is one-half, and the sound length of an eighth note is one-eighth. One-third, and so on.

Among the rests, the corresponding one with the same sound length is the full rest, usually represented as a solid rectangular mark, "hanging" on the second staff line from the top (i.e. the fourth line) superior.
