I just learned that British and U.S.(don't
know about other countries) have differences
in terminology for note values:

whole note semibreve
half note minim
quarter note crotchet
eighth note quaver
16th note semiquaver
32nd note demisemiquaver


Don't know what a 64th note is
in British!

It's a hemidemisemiquaver! My dad got me a pocket music dictionary when I
was about 8 years old. In 1963. I still have it - Elson's Pocket Music
Dictionary.

According to "The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music" (1964 ed.) can
also be referred to as semidemisemiquaver :-)

In Sweden -

helnot = whole note
halvnot = half note
fjärdedelsnot = quarter note
åttondelsnot = eighth note
sextondelsnot = 16th note
trettiotvåondelsnot = 32nd note

Or, you can say "ton", so 'helton', etc.
