Accented. Uttered with accent. Those notes or those parts of a bar are said to be accented on which the emphasis or expression naturally falls. In common time, of four crotchets in a bar, the accentuation will fall on the first and third crotchets of the bar ; in triple time, on the first note of the bar.
