This is perhaps counter-intuitive if you are used to adding notes in a sequencer or piano roll and the overall length increasing.

But, it will begin to make sense as we go through more elements of mini-notation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiplication
|
||||
|
||||
A sequence can be sped up by multiplying it by a number using the asterisk symbol (`*`):

||||
|
||||
<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`note("[e5 b4 d5 c5]*2")`} punchcard />
|
||||
|
||||
The multiplication by two here means that the sequence will play twice per cycle.
|
||||
|
||||
Multiplications can also be decimal (`*2.75`):

||||

||||
<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`note("[e5 b4 d5 c5]*2.75")`} punchcard />

## Division

This is more similar to traditional music sequencers and piano rolls, where adding a note increases the perceived overall duration.

We can also play a certain number of notes per cycle by using angle brackets with multiplication:

## Elongation
|
||||
|

With the "@" symbol, we can specify temporal "weight" of a sequence child:

Here, the first chord has a weight of 2, making it twice the length of the other chords. The default weight is 1.
