Hi there, adding a dot to a chord duration prolongs it by 50%. "g4.",
for instance, is 1.5 beats or three 8th notes. "g4.." is 1.75 beats, I
believe. Which would translate into seven 16th notes. But what is
"g4..."? Here, with 3 dots.


g4... = 15/32
so 1,875 beats

Also, how can I describe a duration that lasts for 2.25 beats?


I've never thought in beats..
Anyway, it should be something like this maybe (lilypond code):

g2 ~ g16

assuming that
g4= 1 beat
g8= 0.5
g16= 0.25
g32= 0.125

and so on...
