Double whole note Double whole note In music, a double whole note (American), breve (international), or double note (; ) is a note lasting two times as long as a whole note (or "semibreve"). It is the second-longest note value still in use in modern music notation (; ). In medieval mensural notation, the "brevis" was one of the shortest note lengths in use —hence its name, which is the Latin etymon of "brief". In "perfect" rhythmic mode, the brevis was a third of a "longa", or in "imperfect" mode, half a "longa" . In modern notation, a breve is commonly represented in
Time value of money the contributions of "FV", the value of cash flow at time "t": Note that this series can be summed for a given value of "n", or when "n" is ∞. This is a very general formula, which leads to several important special cases given below. In this case the cash flow values remain the same throughout the "n" periods. The present value of an annuity (PVA) formula has four variables, each of which can be solved for by numerical methods: To get the PV of an annuity due, multiply the above equation by (1 + "i"). In this case each
