Reading music: notes, beats and rhythm, sentence 4

People name things differently: in Britain a one-beat note is a crotchet, in America a quarter note; Northerners in England say "nowt" for nothing, Geordies say "howay" for come on and "divvent" for don't, and many players call written music "the dots".

Who acts: People, beat note, Northerners, Geordies, many players · What happens: name, be, say, come on, call, write · To what, where: things, crotchet, Britain, nowt, howay, written music · Speech: someone speaks here
