Rhythm-Signature

The rhythm signature (time signature) tells you how time is organized in a piece of music. It’s written as a fraction, such as 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, etc. The top number shows how many beats per bar, The bottom number tells which note value gets one beat. Some genres use complex or odd signatures like 7/8 or 5/4, often found in jazz, prog, and world music.
