A 1/4 note seems to be the shortest note duration available. How do I get a shorter note, such as an 8th or a 16th?
Right now you can’t get anything shorter than that

If I’m not mistaken or confused …
You CAN get 1/8th notes and 1/16 notes.
The labeling of the note durations is confusing and misleading for me
16th notes
16th notes
H’Pad-------ACTUAL
1/4 ---------- 1/16
1/2 ----------- 1/8
1 --------------1/4
2 --------------1/2
4----------------1
@downunder in Hookpad, ‘1’ is not a semibreve/whole note but is instead 1 beat, so a crotchet/quarter note
Hookpad 2 does in fact support “1/8” and “1/16” notes if you have access to the JSON export format.
Since these durations are (negative) powers of two, they can be exactly represented and don’t have the rounding issue that triplets have.
@HertzDevil Can you upload (or edit then revert) a theorytab that uses that for notes and chords so that I can copy/paste it into other stuff
