A *dyad* is a pair of pitches sounding together (in other words, a two-note chord). Since a dyad is defined by the interval between the two pitches, dyads are often simply called intervals. diff --git a/rhythmicValues.md b/rhythmicValues.md index 0c7d7c31..b9bf5b3c 100644 --- a/rhythmicValues.md +++ b/rhythmicValues.md @@ -19,6 +19,8 @@ Dots and ties allow for basic durations to be lengthened.
