That looks fine to me.

It's very difficult to tell where the beats are. That makes it hard to count.

I think we're supposed to assume that the red lines are the beats and that it's in 4/4 time.

Yes

@Bubbles: Don't forget to treat the rests the same way you would the notes.

[Bubbles]

So how would I change it to be more readable? Change the half beat rest to two eighths and a quarter rest?

Bear with me, this is difficult as it is

8th note - 8th rest - quarter rest - quarter rest - 8th rest - 16th rest - 16th note

Generally speaking, a half rest should only appear on the first or third beats of a measure in 4/4 time.

He tried explaining it to me before, and I though I got it but I didnt XD Now its time to use this

I promise that my next sheet I submit (if I arrange it from now onwards) will have as correct rhythm groupings as I can get

But do you guys take classes on this stuff or is it just ocmmon knowledge?

[SlowPokemon]

Both--taking a class is definitely the best way to learn, but if you compose a lot of music, much of it is second nature.

[Olimar12345]

We took classes on this stuff, making it common knowledge.

I haven't taken much classes on this kind of stuff, I just go by what makes the most sense to me.

One of these days we need to have a theory lecture in tinychat or something...

That's the same thought process that started that Music Theory Q/A topic I've got.
I'm going to get that going again next chance I get. Next topic will be on key signatures (similar to that on time signatures) and that will be followed by a little column explaining when to use double accidentals.

Oh haha that wasn't meant to be a criticism. Sorry.

And I've learned about it from Deku and Olimar hounding on me about it all the time I'd be totally willing to check your next sheet if you'd like Bubbles!

In case it isn't already blatantly obvious, I'm here to help too.
