| The last note of the exercise, which was printed as a dotted minim, has been changed to a semibreve. |
| There was also a semibreve, a diamond-shaped note which was used when two or more tones were sung to one syllable. |
| 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. |
| Of greater concern, however, is Archer's decision to halve the note values in all instances in triple meter in which the dotted semibreve is the basic unit. |
| In musical notation, how many semiquavers are there in a semibreve? |
| The relationship between the semibreve and the minim is exactly the same as that accorded to the breve and semibreve. |
