Definition: A tie binds together two notes of the same pitch

6. Ties that tie notes together

Ties can be written as dotted notes too:

If you write a dot after a note it is short-hand for "add half the value of that note".A dot after a quarter note takes the place of a tied eighth note.Example: a dotted quarter note equals a quarte noter plus a tied eighth note
