Hi David,

If you have a bar of music with an assortment of quarter eighths, and sixteenths notes, does the interval start at the first note in the bar and whatever subsequent position the rest of the notes lie, the interval is always taken from that first note or does the interval go from note to note.

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you,

Paul

Morning Paul. "interval go from note to note," is the correct answer. It's a measurement from note to note.
