1. Time signature

   The time signature (also known as meter signature, metre signature, and measure signature) is a convention in Western musical notation to specify how many beats (pulses) are contained in each measure (bar), and which note value is equivalent to a beat. The time signature is a notational device representing the meter, which is an auditory feature of the music. In a music score the time signature appears at the beginning as a time symbol or stacked numerals, such as or 44 (read common time or four-four time, respectively), immediately following the key signature (or immediately following the clef symbol if the key signature is empty). A mid-score time signature, usually immediately following a barline, indicates a change of meter. The most time signatures are either simple (the beats are themselves divided into two subdivisions) or compound (divided into three). Less-common signatures correspond to complex, mixed, additive, and irrational meters.
