A dotted note in music notation refers to a note that has a dot placed immediately to the right of it. The dot increases the duration of the note by half of its original value. For example: - A dotted quarter note (which normally lasts for one and a half beats) is equal to a quarter note (1 beat) plus an eighth note (0.5 beats), for a total of 1.5 beats.
