WHAT DOES DEMISEMIQUAVER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Thirty-second note

In music, a 32nd note or demisemiquaver is a note played for 1/32 of the duration of a whole note. It lasts half as long as a 16th note and twice as long as a 64th. 32nd notes are notated with an oval, filled-in note head and a straight note stem with three flags or beams. As with all notes with stems, 32nd notes are drawn with stems to the right of the notehead, facing up, when they are below the middle line of the musical staff. When they are on or above the middle line, they are drawn with stems on the left of the note head, facing down. Flags are always on the right side of the stem, and curve to the right. On stems facing up, the flags start at the top and curve down; for downward facing stems, the flags start at the bottom of the stem and curve up. When multiple 32nd notes or eighth notes are next to each other, the flags may be connected with a beam. Similar rules apply to smaller divisions such as 64th notes. A related symbol is the 32nd rest or demisemiquaver rest, which denotes a silence for the same duration.
