Anyone know of ChaCha?
Anyone know of KBG? You know, you text a question to them and they reply back with an answer.
Well I use ChaCha because they're free, (for anyone who cares, their number is 242242) and I asked them "At what BPM does Sleepy Head by Passion Pit play at?" and their response enlightened me:
"A Quasihenideniseniquaver is a note having a time value half as long as a 64th note. It is 1/128 of the duration of a whole note."
What this had to do with my question is beyond me...but it's educational. I knew there were notes beyond 64th, but they aren't used often in music.
So, to make this topic related to music theory; when might you use a Quasihenideniseniquaver?
(try to pronounce that word...I struggled)

You spelled it wrong: Quasihemidemisemiquaver
Some dashes added to help pronounciation: Quasi-hemi-demi-semi-quaver
Regarding the BPM of Sleepyhead by PassionPit, I played it on YouTube and used a stopwatch. 10 bars (40 beats) lasted about 22.8 secs. So one beat is 22.8 / 40 = 0.57 secs. So in one minute you can fit (1 / 0.57) * 60 = 105 beats.

Back to this topic though, I never knew the actuall note lengths also had a name, I wouldn't think that only one of the most unused note lengths would have a name. Looking at the spelling with the dashes, I am guessing each word represents Time divided by 2 divided by 2, divided by 2, ect... until you reach the note length.
