Rather than using one second as time unit, music has its own time unit {beat, rhythm}. Beats {whole note} can divide into half beats {half note}, quarter beats {quarter note}, eighth beats {eighth note}, or sixteenth beats {sixteenth note}. Notes can sound for any number of beats or beat fractions. Notes can have 1.5 beats {dotted note, beat}, 0.75 beats {dotted half note}, 0.375 beats {dotted quarter note}, and 0.1875 beats {dotted eighth note}.
