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 ...
This is a list of musical compositions or pieces of music that have unusual time signatures. "Unusual" is here defined to be any time signature other than simple time signatures with top numerals of 2, 3, or 4 and bottom numerals of 2, 4, or 8, and compound time signatures with top numerals of 6, 9, or 12 and bottom numerals 4, 8, or 16.
Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed.

(2005) "Music for a Nurse" by Oceansize (2003) "III Ways to Epica" by Kamelot
Music with no time signature can not be said to have an unusual time signature as they have none at all. Sure, they fit the unusual part, but not the time signature. Definitely, create a page for music with no time signature (you could link it to this one and vice versa) but don't put them here. Watto the jazzman 06:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
