dotted triplet?
What do the dots mean? This is from the Dunmore Lasses on The Session (setting #1)
Normally I'd assume a dot means you add 50% to the length of the note but that doesn't seem right to me as it's a 4/4 time signature so 4 beats per measure with each beat equating to a quarter note, which means (I think) that the triplet without the dots amounts to a quarter note (1 beat) doesn't it?
(Apologies if I've got any of this wrong, I've not had any formal musical training, just trying to understand this)
Thanks
