Note
The term note has two primary meanings: 1) a sign used in
music to represent the relative duration and
pitch of a
sound; and 2) a pitched sound itself. Notes are the "atoms" of much Western music: discretizations of musical phenomena that facilitate performance, comprehension, and
analysis (Nattiez 1990, p.81n9).
