Too many notes in measure?
I'm composing a song. The song is in 4/4. In the bass clef, I have two half notes, one occurring on beat one and the other on beat three. Since each note rings out for half of the measure, I want to put in a quarter on beats two and four. This will make six beats, though--won't it? I thought of perhaps putting quarter rests on beats one and three beside the quarter notes to show that they are separate voices. I don't know if that will work. I'm confused. Can you help me?
