English to Spanish Other Music Music
This is from a program manual about making music. The sentences says:
"16 stands for a 1/16th note, 8. for 1/8th note etc"

Could it be "corchea y semicorchea"

other way round obviously: corchea = 1/8th note/quaver and semicorchea = 1/16th note/semiquaver!

1/8 de nota o (un octavo de nota) , 1/16 o (un dieciseisavo de nota)

Es equivalente a una corchea pero én el original no dice : "a quaver" sino " 16 stands for a 1/16th note" 16 quiere de decir 1/16 de nota"
