    4, is assumed to either be equivalent to a measure of 3 4 followed by a measure of 2 4, or the opposite: 2 4 then 3 4. Higher metres which are divisible by 2 or 3 are considered equivalent to groupings of duple or triple metre measures; thus, 6 4, for example, is rarely used because it is considered equivalent to two measures of 3 4.
