A whole note is called a "semibreve" in music notation.

To find this information, you can refer to a music theory textbook or use online resources such as music theory websites, music notation guides, or music dictionaries. You can search for "music notation symbols" or "music note names" to find specific terms and explanations. Online music notation guides or websites usually have detailed explanations and examples of different note durations, including the semibreve or whole note. Additionally, you can consult music theory textbooks or ask a music teacher for more information on musical notation.
