How many beats for a single dash though?

The fuck it is. Em-dashes have existed in literature and text since long before the existence of computers and are a traditional form of textual form pause length:
- comma (,) - one beat
- em dash (–) - two beats
- semicolon (;) - three beats
- period (.) - four beats

I was being facetious btw, but thanks for the serious response.
