A triple-dotted note is one that has three dots printed after it, and its duration is 17/8 times the fundamental note value. Therefore, a triple-dotted note has a pitch of about 215 hertz. The number of dots after a note indicates the scale degree of the new beginning. In this case, it's the third scale degree (or octave). Thus, there are three dots after the triple dot note. Dots are used after notes to indicate their continuation. There are several types of note endings used in music: Natural endings occur when the note or chord dies away naturally. For example, a note will normally end when another note is played, so a natural ending occurs whenever a note does not continue into another note or passage. Natural endings can be either sharp or flat, depending on how much the tone quality changes. For example, if the note was played with force, then it would be considered a sharp ending. If the note had life breathed into it, then it would be considered a flat ending. Silent endings occur when no sound is made after the note has been played. This is usually indicated by a period (.) at the end of the note.
