	Time signature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For all meters, the first beat (the "downbeat") is stressed; in time signatures with four groups in the bar (such as 4/4 and 12/8), the third beat is also stressed, though to a lesser degree.
		Assuming the breve to be a beat, this corresponds to the modern concepts of triple meter and duple meter, respectively.
		N.B. in modern compound meters the beat is a dotted note value, such as a dotted quarter, because the ratios of the modern note value hierarchy are always 2:1.

	Meter
		For example, a meter with 3 beats per measure with the quarter note receiving the beat is called "3/4" time, and is notated with a "3" in the top number and a "4" in the lower number.
		Compound meter is used to notate music that has three instead of two subdivisions per beat.
		In compound meter, the top number is the number of subdivided by 3 beats and the bottom number is the note value receiving the subdivided by 3 beat.

	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)

	Practical Guide to 18th Century Drumming - Lesson Two
		Meter is defined as the basic recurrent rhythmical pattern of note values, accents, and beats per measure in music.
		Conversely, if the meter is "compound" the upper number indicates the number of "divisions" of the beat occurring within a measure, while the bottom number indicates which note is the "division" of the beat.
		Compound time (or meter) is compound because each beat is divisible by 3.

	CHAPTER 1: NOTATION
		Compound meter signatures generally have 6, 9, or 12 for the numerator.
		In compound meters, however, the initial subdivision of the beat is triple--i.e., in 6/8 time, there are two beats in a measure, with the dotted quarter receiving one beat.
		All common compound meters (and some not-so-common) are illustrated in Figure I-10, subdivided, as with simple meters, according to three types--compound duple, compound triple, and compound quadruple.

	Meter in Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The meter of a piece of music is the arrangment of its rhythms in a repetitive pattern of strong and weak beats.
		One of the most common examples of this is the use of triplets to add some compound meter to a piece that is mostly in a simple meter.
		To learn to recognize meter, remember that (in most Western music) the beats and the subdivisions of beats are all equal and even.

		The compound meter signature represents a different concept for interpretation of the numerator and denominator.
		While in simple meter signatures, the numerator represents the number of basic durations found within the measure, in compound meter signatures, the numerator represents the number of pulses (subdivisions of the basic duration) found within the measure.
		The denominator of the simple meter signature represents the kind of note which will receive the full basic duration (one count or beat), in the compound meter signature the denominator represents the kind of note which will receive the pulse or the subdivision of the basic duration.

	ODU Music Theory - Mus 221 (mod )
		In the time signature of a compound meter, the lower number represents the note value that is the division of the beat.
		Thus in compound meter a 6 in the upper number signifies duple meter; a 9 as the upper number is triple meter; and a 12 means the music is in quadruple meter.
		Recognizing the compound meter, we also know that the bottom number is not the beat unit, but is a division of the beat.

	Norm Weinberg's WebRhythms: Lesson 7
		While some of these meters are compound (three, six, and nine), the four-eight meter is still a simple meter.
		These meters are typically called "complex" or "asymmetrical" (again, I think the name "complex" is a little negative), because the beat's subdivision values are not equal.
		Also, in the asymmetrical meters, try to get a feel for the basic pulse of the beats by putting a small stress at the beginning of each beamed grouping (these are the beats).

	Time signature
		Compound time signatures are distinguished by a top number which is 6 or above and a multiple of three (most commonly 6, 9, or 12).
		The duration of the beat (or the "beat unit") in compound time is three times the duration represented by the lower number.
		However, in some music a quintuple meter, five beats per measure, may be treated and perceived as one unit of five, especially at faster tempos.

	Meter
		Once the meter is established each beat can be subdivided into faster note values and these can be used with longer note values to create the specific rhythms of a musical composition.
		Compound meter uses a three part subdivision of the pulse or beat.
		The standard notation practice for compound meter uses a dotted note value (such as a dotted eighth note, dotted quarter note or dotted half note) to represent the pulse.

		Usually meters of three beats (subdivided by 2s) are considered simple meter, not compound, no matter the tempo.
		Compound, by definition, has beat subdivisions of three, therefore, 6/8 has two beats, each divided by three.
		Your 3/8 bars might be better notated as 12/8 or 6/8 or some other compound meter, depending on the phrase length and period length, for example.
