| In musical notation, how many semiquavers are there in a semibreve? |
| For example, the addition of a stem carries no essential meaning that requires a minim to last half as long as a semibreve, but convention dictates it. |
| Rests are named according to their duration, so you will find a semibreve rest, a minim rest and so on. |
| For the first time the minim is now fully accepted as a note-value in its own right rather than as a special kind of semibreve. |
| There was also a semibreve, a diamond-shaped note which was used when two or more tones were sung to one syllable. |
| The theme, an eight-bar structure of stentorian semibreve piano chords, receives six doggedly unvaried statements. |
