Two beats out of four. Hence the name half note! :P
A two-beat note is called a minim, or, in traditional US usage, a half-note.
A half note
A whole note tied to a half note tied to a quarter note gets seven beats.
It depends on the time signature. If the time signature is x/4, the the whole note gets 4 beats. It also depends on where the dot is. If the dot is above the whole note, it gets two beats; if it is to the right of the whole note it gets six beats.
In 3/4 time, a quarter note gets one beat. A half note gets two beats, and a dotted half note gets the entire three beats of a measure.
In 3/2, a whole note gets two beats.
it depends on what time pattern you are in. If you are in a 4 pattern, a half notes gets two beats If you are in an 8 pattern, a quarter note gets two beats.
A whole note tied to a half note tied to a quarter note gets seven beats.
In six-eight time, a quarter note gets two beats. (An eight note gets one.)

usually a half noteA half note gets 2 beats if you are in a 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, etc. If you are in an 8 pattern time signature, a quarter note gets two beats.
In 2/4 time, an eight note gets half a beat. (A quarter note gets one.)
a half note gets two beats. Because a whole note is 4 beats usually that means half of that is two beats.
It means that there are two beats in a measure, and a quarter note gets a beat.
It adds to the total duration of the note one half of whatever immediately precedes the dot.
That would be the equivalent of a half note. In other words, a sound lasting two beats (assuming a quarter note gets a beat).
