WHEN YOU SEE A DOT AFTER A NOTE OR REST, IT WILL INCREASE THE VALUE OF THAT NOTE OR REST BY HALF OF ITS VALUE. SO A DOTED QUARTAR NOTE OR REST EQUALS A QUARTAR PLUS AN EIGHTH OR THREE EIGHTHS IN VALUE. AND, A DOTED EIGHTH NOTE OR REST EQUALS A EIGHTH PLUS A SIXTEENTH OR THREE SIXTEENTHS IN VALUE.AND SO ON.
