  2. Time signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature

    Most time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other: The lower numeral indicates the note value that the signature is counting. This number is always a power of 2 (unless the time signature is irrational), usually 2, 4 or 8, but less often 16 is also used, usually in Baroque music. 2 corresponds to the half note (minim), 4 to the quarter note (crotchet), 8 to the eighth ...

  3. Nepalese customary units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_customary_units...

    In Nepal, for land area measurements two types of unit systems are used. In hilly regions, ropani-aana-paisa-daam units are used while in terai regions, bigha-kattha-dhur units measurements are used.

  4. Metric modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_modulation

    Examples of metric modulation may include changes in time signature across an unchanging tempo, but the concept applies more specifically to shifts from one time signature/tempo to another, wherein a note value from the first is made equivalent to a note value in the second, like a pivot or bridge.

  5. Metric signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_signature

    The signature of a metric tensor is defined as the signature of the corresponding quadratic form. [2] It is the number (v, p, r) of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of any matrix (i.e. in any basis for the underlying vector space) representing the form, counted with their algebraic multiplicities.

  6. Metric time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    Metric time is the measure of time intervals using the metric system. The modern SI system defines the second as the base unit of time, and forms multiples and submultiples with metric prefixes such as kiloseconds and milliseconds. Other units of time – minute, hour, and day – are accepted for use with SI, but are not part of it

  7. Worldsheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldsheet

    A world-sheet is then an embedded surface, that is, an embedded 2-manifold , such that the induced metric has signature (, +) everywhere. Consequently it is possible to locally define coordinates ( τ , σ ) {\displaystyle (\tau ,\sigma )} where τ {\displaystyle \tau } is time-like while σ {\displaystyle \sigma } is space-like .

  8. Free time (music) - Wikipedia

    4) and the direction 'Free time' written above. The word FREE is written downwards across the stave. This is mostly used when the piece changes to free time after having had a time signature. Instead of a time signature, a large X is written on the stave. Note heads alone are used, without time values (typically black note heads without stems)

  9. Metre (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_(music)

    The top number in the time signature will be 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24, etc. Compound metres are written with a time signature that shows the number of divisions of beats in each bar as opposed to the number of beats. For example, compound duple (two beats, each divided into three) is written as a time signature with a numerator of six, for example ...
