Crotchet

[morbidstorm]

What does a crotchet with a little cross at the bottom instead of the black blob mean?

Thanks

Double sharp

It raises the pitch of a note by two chromatic semitones

It's used to represent a percussive, un-pitched sound, eg a hand-clap.

The symbol for a double sharp is also a cross, but it's placed in front of the note, rather than replacing the note head.
