Best Answer

The organization of notes in a composition or passage, with respect to time, in such a way that a regular pulse made up of beats can be perceived and the duration of each note can be measured in terms of these beats. The beats are grouped regularly into larger units called bars or measures. Metre is identified at the beginning of a composition, or at any point where it changes, by a time-signature.
