How do i merge notes?

[-x-]

I saw a sequence with 2 merged not like a half note, how do I do this? Thx

if you mean like a shorter note
look down and click the grid and make it smaller
if you want to have 2 notes placed on 1 node
just put the note in the node
and then click in another node, hold it, and move it to the node you first put something
or copy paste it to the node

I think the question is how to make a note last longer than two beats. Although, I definitely learned a lot from the response.

already an explanation here http://onlinesequencer.net/experiments
but I'll post this anyway since people tend to ask this question a lot

1. go to your browser's web console; ctrl+shift+k for Firefox, ctrl+shift+j for Chrome (I think)

if you're not using either of those browsers then research how to access the web console on your own
either that or download Firefox/Chrome

2. find the command line, probably denoted by a ">>" or something along that

3. type "grid=(1/4)/(x)" in the command line (without the quotes) where x is the amount of space the note takes up in a beat/multiple beats, then press enter

for a note that takes up a quarter of a beat, you would type "grid=(1/4)/(1/4)"
also, this is the default length
here is 1 beat divided among 4 notes:

for a note that takes up one third of a beat (i.e. a triplet), you would type "grid=(1/4)/(1/3)"
here is 1 beat divided among 3 notes:

for a note that takes up one beat, you would type "grid=(1/4)/(4/4)"
here is a note that is 1 beat long:

for a note that takes up TWO beats, you would type "grid=(1/4)/(8/4)"
here is a note that is 2 beats long:

and finally, for a slightly more complicated example...
for a note that takes up one and three-fourths beats, you would type "grid=(1/4)/((4/4)+(3/4))"
take note of the parentheses that prevent order of operations from screwing you over
- alternate form A: grid=(1/4)/(1+(3/4))
- alternate form B: grid=(1/4)/(7/4)
here is a note that is 1 and 3/4ths beats long:


some (if not all) of the expressions here can be simplified; I was just showing the unsimplified forms for the sake of presentation
the above are just examples, you can pretty much produce any note length you want as long as you know how to manipulate this stuff correctly
also i'm not sure why you'd want to use sustained notes but whateva

to Lempillsk.
I did what you said, but then it wouldn't make a single sound. Like, no sound. I checked the tab and it wasn't muted, so after I made the Firefox console open, it made absolutely nothing come out of my speakers. I tried to search for a answer but came empty-handed.

uhh im new here and it keeps saying that there is a error when i do that... something like 0.(whatever number, it changes) is not a valid function.

How do you create a continuous note like for synth or bass?
