 Metre (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metre or meter is the measurement of a musical line into measures of stressed and unstressed beats, indicated in Western notation by a symbol called a time signature.
Meter is an entrainment, a representation of changing aspects of music as patterns of temporal invariance, allowing listeners to synchronize their perception, cognition, and behaviour with musical rhythms.
Rhythm is distinguished from meter in that rhythms are patterns of durtion while "meter involves our initial perception as well as subsequent anticipation of a series of beats that we abstract from the rhythm surface of the music as it unfolds in time." (London 2004, p.4-5)

 The Effects of Rhythmic Sounds on Counting
Furthermore, the rhythm rate was expected to interact with proximity and arrangement due to the incongruity between internal counting speed (determined by spatial arrangement and proximity) and the external influence on counting speed (provided by the sound rates).
In the slow rhythm condition, the sound rate was set at one beat per second, and was audible at a range of 44dB spl to 52 dB spl corresponding to the back and front of the testing room.
For both volume and rhythm rate, participants were asked to report the detection of changes and the number of changes that may have occurred during the session.

 24 ways: Compose to a Vertical Rhythm
On the Web, vertical rhythm – the spacing and arrangement of text as the reader descends the page – is contributed to by three factors: font size, line height and margin or padding.
If the rhythm of the page is to be maintained, the spacing of paragraphs should be related to the basic line height unit.
The temptation is to set heading margins to a simple 1em, but in order to maintain the rhythm, the top and bottom margins should be set at 1.286em so that the spacing is equal to the full 18px unit.

In music, the term irrational rhythm is usually applied to a rhythm in which an unusual number of beats is superimposed on the predominating tempo.
The use of the term "irrational" in this context is quite different to the mathematical use of the term: indeed, rhythms of this sort are, in the mathematical sense, rational, as they are precisely defined by the ratio of beats played to beats in the underlying tempo.
Notice, in particular, when the triplet rhythm is being played against the quaver rhythm in another line in bars 4, 5 and 6.
