How many beasts does a whole note get

It depends on the time signature. In a 4/4 time signature, it has a value of 4 beats, while in 2/2 it has a value of 2 beats.

Explanation:

You need to understand how time signature affects the score so you won't get confused when trying to name the value of a rhythmic figure.

Let's start by looking at the "Rhythm Tree", with the Whole note at the beginning; each note divides into 2 notes, both of which are half the value of the original note. (See attached image noº 1, keep this in mind for later)

Then, we need to know the meaning behind the two numbers of the time signature (see attached image noº 2).

* This is where the Rhythm Tree becomes relevant.

Basically, the bottom number is telling us how many times was the Whole note divided (or "branched off").

As for the 4/4 time signature:

This leaves us with the following values: A whole note equals 4 beats, a half note equals 2 beats, a quarter note equals 1 beat, an eighth note equals a half (1/2) beat, a sixteenth note equals a quarter (1/4) beat, and so on... (Same with rests)

Therefore, in a 4/4 time signature, a measure equals 4 quarter notes, or any combination of notes that has the equivalent value of 4 quarter notes:

And so on... There are many ways you can combine rhythmic figures in a score to match the values indicated by the time signature besides these examples, just make sure that they amount to the same value as 4 quarter notes per measure.

So, why is the value different in other time signatures, such as 2/2?

Let's break this down:

This means that the whole note, which has the same value as two half notes, equals 2 beats in a 2/2 time signature.
