Does this matter to you? Yes, a bit. But not as much as recognising the effect in a piece of music. If you hear a melody played in the music and then hear it repeated but it sounds twice as slow, then it has been Augmented.
Be aware: The use of the word "Augmented" here is in relation to the note value, and has nothing to do with intervals. In your study of the Harmonic Minor scale you will see the word "Augmented" applied to the interval between the 6th and 7th degree of the scale Augmented 2nd. This is not what the stand-alone SQA concept of "Augmentation" refers to, don't get confused!
Diminution Simply put; If you make a melody last half as long as it originally lasted , it has been Diminished by process of [Rhythmic] Diminution.

Melodic inversion can be real where every interval is exactly the same quality or tonal where the intervals abide by the scale or key. For the majority of this text, we will encounter tonal inversion until we discuss techniques of 20th- and 21st-century music in the final chapters of this text.
Intervallic change is less exact than inversion. With intervallic change , the rhythm is generally intact and the motive relates to a previous iteration, but some of the intervals are different. The next example has two intervals changed, one of which includes a change in contour. Augmentation usually refers to an exact doubling of the duration of every rhythmic value in a motive or phrase.
