Note value French for a 'little hook', and it is possible to argue that the same is true of the "minim", since the word is also used in palaeography to mean a vertical stroke in mediaeval handwriting.

Philippine folk music famous in Tagalog and Visayan regions, employs a 3/4 time signature with a "crotchet-quaver-quaver-crotchet" beat. Others use the "crotchet-minim" scheme, while others use the "dotted quaver-semiquaver-crotchet-quaver-quaver" scheme. This type of music is generally recreational and, like traditional music from the West, is used for socialising. The court and folk dance music of the Muslim-Filipino groups have somewhat preserved ancient Southeast Asian musical instruments, modes and repertoires lost to Hispanicised islands further north. It is important to note that stricter interpretations of Islam do not condone musical entertainment, and thus the musical genres among the Muslimised Filipinos cannot be considered "Islamic".Genres
