The time signature indicates the meter of a piece of music. It has two numbers, with the top number indicating the number of beats in a measure and the bottom number indicating the note value that receives one beat. The most common time signature is 4/4, where there are 4 quarter-note beats per measure. Time signatures can indicate simple or compound meter, with simple dividing the measure equally and compound grouping beats into 2s or 3s.
