    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. 7-limit tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-limit_tuning

    7-limit or septimal tunings and intervals are musical instrument tunings that have a limit of seven: the largest prime factor contained in the interval ratios between pitches is seven. Thus, for example, 50:49 is a 7-limit interval, but 14:11 is not. For example, the greater just minor seventh, 9:5 ( Play ⓘ) is a 5-limit ratio, the harmonic ...

    Simple quintuple meter can be written in 5 4 or 5 8 time, but may also be notated by using regularly alternating bars of triple and duple meters, for example 2 4 + 3 4.Compound quintuple meter, with each of its five beats divided into three parts, can similarly be notated using a time signature of 15

  5. Odds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds

    Thus if expressed as a fraction with a numerator of 1, probability and odds differ by exactly 1 in the denominator: a probability of 1 in 100 (1/100 = 1%) is the same as odds of 1 to 99 (1/99 = 0.0101... = 0. 01), while odds of 1 to 100 (1/100 = 0.01) is the same as a probability of 1 in 101 (1/101 = 0.00990099... = 0. 0099). This is a minor ...
