The difference between the bars for eighth notes and sixteenth notes refers to the number of flags or beams attached to the note stems. Eighth notes have one bar, which means they have one flag or beam attached to the stem. On the other hand, sixteenth notes have two bars, indicating that there are two flags or beams attached to the stem. This visual difference helps musicians distinguish between the two note durations when reading sheet music.Rate this question:
