One example of what I would consider complex music is this [https://imgur.com/Ss2W3z4](https://imgur.com/Ss2W3z4) .

So far I understand that when it is 4 / 4 half the bow lasts 2 beats. But what is 2/4?

What is the p

I know that crocodile mouth means open string

What is the n and v type shapes on top of the notes mean?

I think the dot next to the note means that note is played slower. But how is it physically possible? any help will be appreciated
