    8 pulse group, and a 6 8 metre consists of two units of a 3 8 pulse group. In turn, metric bars may comprise 'metric groups' - for example, a musical phrase or melody might consist of two bars x 3 4. [13] The level of musical organisation implied by musical metre includes the most elementary levels of musical form. [6]

    In the expression 6/x vision, the numerator (6) is the distance in metres between the subject and the chart and the denominator (x) the distance at which a person with 6/6 acuity would discern the same optotype. Thus, 6/12 means that a person with 6/6 vision would discern the same optotype from 12 metres away (i.e. at twice the distance).
