*In simple time, the top figure reflects the number of beats in each measure, or metrical unit; the bottom figure indicates the note value that receives one beat (here, respectively, half note, quarter note, eighth note, and sixteenth note).

*Simple metres are duple (e.g., ²/₂, ²/₄), triple (³/₄, ³/₈), or quadruple (⁴/₄, ⁴/₈).
