	Metre and Rhythm
		For if metre is not perceived in the same way by individuals in a group, and is not necessarily explicit in the music, then part of teaching ballet - which relies greatly on coherence between music and movement in groups - must be to "manage" the perception of metre[2].
		In practice, this means teaching the basic components of metre - pulse, tactus, duple, triple, compound and additive metres - and using these terms as analytical tools to aid both the perception of metre and the learning of steps or movements which have to be performed in particular metres.
		Metre is the term used to describe patterns of pulses defined by the prominence of some pulses (by means of accent, for example) over others.

	metrical shape and free verse
		Metre gives dignity and memorability, conveys tempo, mood, the subtle shifts in evidence, passion and persuasion beyond what is possible in prose.
		For contemporary practice it may be better to consider metre under two headings: whether the syllables or the stresses are being counted, and whether these counts are fixed or variable.
		Some of the speech rhythms claimed as "superior to metre" are not rhythms at all but an enviable dexterity in idiomatic expression.

	Important issues in rhythm and metre in relationship to dance
		An awareness of current issues in metre and rhythm is more important than a catechistic knowledge of terminology; if, for example, the distinction between rhythm and metre seems unclear, it is because it is unclear or disputed.
		Whereas CandM define metre as isochronous pulses grouped by initial accent, and rhythm as the interplay between longer and shorter durations within a the metrical framework, Hasty argues that metre does not have to be defined by accent.
		To reconcile this apparent paradox, he says "metre could perhaps be defined as the way in which one or more equal unaccented beats are grouped in relation to an initial accented one." (Hasty, pg.

	Mozart Fingerprint article by Nettheim
		Indeed, Becking (ibid, p.24) wrote that the downbeat in 3/4 metre lasted for "something less than" ("etwas weniger als") two quarter-notes, again only an approximate indication; the (A) phase is shown in the score commencing a little after the 2nd quarter-note of the bar, subsequent to the carefully executed lower portion of the curve's downbeat.
		Manifestations of the two metres in the scores seem to be fully comparable, as will later be seen, the distinction arising rather in performance: in 4/4, all four conducting phases are executed distinctly, whereas in 2/4 (and 2/2) the first two phases are more nearly fused, as are also the last two phases.
		The absence of a final rest in 'real' triple metre seems to correspond to the fusion of the conducting phases (N) and (U); it is as if the rest were fused with the sounded note, whereas in the other metres the rest occurs and is felt separately (see Par 15).

		In forming compound names division is indicated by per, while in the corresponding symbols it is permissible to use either a negative index or a solidus (oblique stroke or slash); thus the SI: unit of velocity is a metre per second and the corresponding symbol is m s-l or m/s.
		In particular, wavelengths should be expressed in metres with the appropriate SI prefix; e.g., for wavelengths in the visual range the nanometre (nm) should be used instead of the angstrom (A), which is a source of confusion in comparisons with longer and shorter wavelengths expressed in recognised SI units.
		In all cases, the spelling metre should be used for the unit, while the spelling meter should be used for a measuring instrument (as in micrometer).

	Time Signatures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Metre is a measurement of music in time where time is divided into groups of pulses as designated by the top number of a time signature.
		Compound means that three pulses are grouped to make one beat.
		In compound time, the top number can be in duple, triple or quadruple time.

	Compound metre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music, compound metre or compound time is a time signature or metre in which each beat (or rather, portion, 1/2 or 1/3 of a measure) is divided into three parts, as opposed to two which is simple metre.
		For example, 6/8 is divided into two parts, making it duple metre, of three quavers (eighth notes) each, making it compound metre (compound duple metre), having 2 beats of the length of a dotted quarter/crotchet.
		Many of the stereotypical Baroque dances are often in compound time: some gigues, the courante, sometimes the passepied and the siciliana.

	The Kalevala metre
		The Kalevala metre appears to date back to the Proto-Finnic period and survived among the Estonians, the Ingrians, the Votes, most of the Karelians, and the Finns.
		A four-syllable word (excluding compound words) may not occur in the middle of a trochaic verse, i.e., the second and third foot may not consist of a single four-syllable word.
		As regards metre and rhythm, a reasonably liberal, creative and, as it were, playful approach can, and will even have to, be adopted (as opposed to a supposedly scholarly accurate one).

	Insect Flight: Evolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		One of the very earliest identifying features of insects is the compound eye, found only among the insects, the centipedes, the crustaceans, and the horseshoe crabs.
		The compound eye is composed a large number (generally a few hundred to thousands) of facets, each of which faces a slightly different direction than its neighbours.
		The clarity or fuzziness of the image is determined by the number of facets, which is fixed, in the eye and by the insects distance from the object.

	Triple metre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The upper figure being divisible by three does not of itself indicate triple metre; for example, a time signature of 6/8 usually indicates compound duple metre, and the 12/8 sections of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis are compound double with a primary division of four to the bar.
		Bist du bei Mir, from Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (but probably originally by Stölzel) is in triple metre; Bach's Jesu, joy of man's desiring is an interesting composite with the melody marked in a compound triple 9/8 and the underlying harmony in 3/4.
		In contemporary genres triple metre is much less common, notable examples being "She's Leaving Home" and the verses (but not the chorus) of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" from The Beatles' 1967 album Sgt.

	Arafat Survives Blast As Israel Tightens Noose

		A single wall is now all that remains of the interior ministry building, leaving Arafat's refuge virtually the only structure still standing amid the rubble of the compound which used to be a key symbol of his Palestinian Authority.

		38), but it is a mistake to regard that as equivalent to true, that is to say anticipatory, knowledge of how such a compound sounds: "operationalizing" sensory-perceptual knowledge, as Raffman calls its substitution by recognitional capacity, gives you something different.
		One can easily envision a listener saying, on hearing some piece of music for the first time, "I recognized it [from a range of alternatives presented], but I didn't realize it would sound like that".
		In addition it is not clear, even, that a listener who acquires recognitional capacity for individual musical phenomena thereby acquires recognitional capacity for all possible compounds of them.
