Full Version: Time Signature - What Does This Mean?
A couple of times recently, I've been looking at Baroque music, and instead of the time signature being say 2/4, it just says 2 (or I've also seen it as 3). What does this mean?
Time Signatures
I don't know if it mentions it on there. There is something about seeing a 3 and it meaning 2:3 proportion..?
Sorry, I can't be of more help.

Cheat a bit!
Work it out from the grouping of notes in each bar! Is this the music I saw last week?Yep, and then today in the music shop, I was flicking through some Blavet duets and that did it too
The '3' apparently means:
2:3 proportion (similar to triplets)
