Question

True or false and compound time all the beats are dotted

Answer 1

False. In compound time signatures, not all the beats are dotted.

In compound time, the beats are typically subdivided into groups of three. For example, in 6/8 time, there are two beats per measure, and each beat can be thought of as a dotted quarter note (which is equivalent to three eighth notes). However, there are instances where the beats can be represented in various ways, not exclusively as dotted notes. The key aspect of compound time is the division of beats into triplets, but not necessarily that all beats must be dotted.
