	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.
		Metre is often combined with a rhythmic pattern to produce a particular style.
		Issues involving metre in song reflect a combination of musical metre and poetic metre, especially when the song is in a standard verse form.

		Although the first prototype metre bar was short by a fifth of a millimetre due to miscalculation of the flattening of the earth, this length became the standard.
		In 1893, the standard metre was first measured with an interferometer by Albert A. Michelson, the inventor of the device and an advocate of using some particular wavelength of light as a standard of distance.
		However, the International Prototype Metre remained the standard until 1960, when the eleventh General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM: Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures) defined the metre in the new SI system as equal to 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the orange-red emission line in the spectrum of the krypton-86 atom in a vacuum.

	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].
		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.
		Unable to rely on socially mediated perceptions of metre or phrasing such as social dance forms (it is often these very conventions which composers in the Western art music tradition seek to subvert), dancers have to be acculturated to the composer's metrical scheme.

		Metre 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.
		In music, compound metre or compound time is a time signature or meter 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 meter.
		For example the first phrase of The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night, without the syncopation, may be generated from its metre of 4/4: In linguistics, generative grammar generally refers to a proof-theoretical approach to the study of syntax partially inspired by formal grammar theory and pioneered by Noam Chomsky.

	Metre - Simple English Wikipedia
		A metre (US spelling, meter) is the basic unit of length in the SI measurement system.
		The metre is now officially defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458th of a second.
		In the Imperial system of measurement, one metre is equal to about 39.37 inches, 3.28 feet, or about 1.09 yards.

		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).

		It may be that I have imagined there to be metre where it is in fact indistinct or not even present.
		From what you have read on the introduction to rhythm and metre page, you should be clear that metre is not a straightforward issue at all.
		That "feel" may mean that the metre that you perceive is nearer to a 12/8.

		Metre is the measurement of a musical line into measures ofstressed and unstressed beats, indicated in Western notation by a symbol called a time signature.
		Properly, "metre" describes the whole concept of measuring rhythmic units, but it can also be used as a specific descriptor for a measurement of an individualpiece as represented by the time signature—for example, "This piece is in 4/4 metre" is equivalent to "This piece is in 4/4time" or "This piece has a 4/4 time signature."
		Other music has no metre at all (free time) such as drone based music exemplified by LaMonte Young, feature rhythms so complex that any metre is obscured such as in serialism, or is based on additive rhythms, such assome music by Philip Glass.

	physics - Metre (music)
		A measure has two purposes in Western traditions of music, the first is to block out a series of beats, and the second is to form the building block of larger sections of music, such as a phrase.
		A measure is similar to a metrical foot in poetry.
		A stunning example from the rock canon is "Kashmir" by the seminal British hard-rock quartet Led Zeppelin, in which the percussion articulates 4/4 while the melodic instruments present a mesmerizing riff in 3/4.

	Schubert Fingerprint article by Nettheim
		Metre, from the present point of view, is a hierarchical subdivision of the time occupied by one traversal of the curve of a given composer.
		Any metre appearing in a score can be regarded as resulting from three choices: (i) a 'real' metre, (ii) the number (1, ½ or 2) of notated or 'nominal' bars per curve and (iii) the note-value chosen as metrical unit.
		For the present purpose the metre is shown as 6/8, though the original is notated in pairs of bars of 3/4.

	The Mechanics of Music
		The metre consists of a steady throbbing pulse onto which is superimposed regular recurring accents.
		The most common metres in music are those which contain groupings of two, three, or four pulsations; that is, music in which every second, third, or fourth pulsation receives an additional stress or accent.
		These are the most common and natural metres, but music based on odd metres containing five and seven beats is certainly not unknown, and is actually quite prevalent in modern music.

		In August1793, the Republican Government in France decreed that the standard unit of length would be 10exp-7 of the earth's quadrant passing through Paris and that the unit be called the metre.

		This refers to the total loss/drop in flow rate/output of a given pump due to the height at which it is trying to pump up to, which is caused by the weight of the water in the vertical pipe trying to come back down under the force of gravity.
		Having a 1000lph pump that has a maximum head of 4 metre's is better than using a 2000lph pump that only has a maximum head of 1.5 metre's when trying to pump from your sump to your tank that has a top lip of 1 metre from the floor.
		Water flows over the top of the weir which is set at your desired water height, and then down to fill the space behind, it then spills over the top of a return pipe or stand pipe which runs to your sump.

	Metric System
		On March 30, 1791, after a proposal by the Académie des sciences (Borda, Lagrange, Laplace, Monge and Condorcet), the Assembly finally chose that a metre would be a 1/10 000 000 of the distance between the north pole and the equator.
		This was the decimal system of measurement units or the decimal metric system, which proved to be simple to use, and making measure transitions between different dimensions easier beyond compare.
