	meter
		In music, the division of a composition into units of equal time value called measures, and the subdivision of those measures into an underlying pattern of stresses or accents (see measure).

		In music of the 18th and 19th cent., however, the same meter is usually adhered to throughout a section or movement in a composition.

	MTO 7.6: Butler, Turning the Beat Around
		While the music that one hears at a nightclub or a rave originates in the studio, records are rarely heard in their original studio-produced forms.
		Duple, or equal meter, is the simplest type because it involves the perception of a second event as a continuation of an initial event (see Example 7, part a, in which continuation is shown by the arrow Q).
		Triple meter involves a more prolonged sense of continuation, as shown in Example 7, part b; it is also more complex than duple because it denies a potential two-beat duration, as indicated by the crossed-out arrow Q in Example 8.
