semibreve = 4 beats
minims = 2 beats
crochets = 1 beat
quavers = 1/2 beats
semiquavers = 1/4 beats
demiquavers = 1/8 beats

so...the site says tat 2/1 time signature = a semibreve which is 2 beats...how can it be 2 beats when its semibreve..the example he game in the bottom is not supporting his point...im not sure if its a mistake or not but its really confusing me

well i think he made a mistake....will search for someting to post later...to clear the prob

well i didnt copy n paste wrong..u can go see the site..i did post the link as well...tats the thing i was pening about..how on earth a semibreve is 2 beats...n the time signature is 2/1 dont make sense..but below he shows a 4/4 er...small composition n a semibreve is used...weird...i duno if its a typo or not...tat dude is a Dr. somemore..hehe.
