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.
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.
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 ...
The verse of the theme to Valley of the Dolls uses the time signatures 4 4, 3 4, 2 4, 4 4, 4 4, effectively producing 17 4. The rhythmic proportions of Stockhausen's Klavierstück IX are governed by the Fibonacci series, resulting in time signatures of e.g. {{Time signature|21|8}}, {{Time signature|34|8}}, {{Time signature|42|8}}, {{Time ...

The Weissman score is a performance metric for lossless compression applications. It was developed by Tsachy Weissman, a professor at Stanford University, and Vinith Misra, a graduate student, at the request of producers for HBO's television series Silicon Valley, a television show about a fictional tech start-up working on a data compression algorithm.
In order to define the Polyakov action, the world-sheet is equipped with a world-sheet metric [4], which also has signature (, +) but is independent of the induced metric. Since Weyl transformations are considered a redundancy of the metric structure, the world-sheet is instead considered to be equipped with a conformal class of metrics [ g ...
A time signature of 21 8, however, does not necessarily mean that the bar is a compound septuple meter with seven beats, each divided into three. This signature may, for example, be used to indicate a bar of triple meter in which each beat is subdivided into seven parts. In this case, the meter is sometimes characterized as "triple septuple ...
