Pickup notes are notes that lead into the first full measure
of a song. They are counted like the end of a normal measure.
The other beats that are missing are sometimes found in the last
measure of the piece. If you count the number of beats in the
first and last measure, together they equal one complete measure.
A Tie is a curved line that connects two notes of the
same pitch. The note is held for the value of both rhythms added
together. (The second note is not played) In this example a half
note is tied to a quarter note, equaling a value of 3 beats. The
reason that a dotted half note is not used here is because you
can't have more that 4 beats in a measure in 4/4 time, so you
have to split the 3 beats between 2 measures.
