Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: time n., signature n.

Etymology: < time n. + signature n.

Music.

A sign placed at the beginning of a piece of music, or where the time changes, to indicate the rhythm or meter.In standard Western musical notation a time signature usually consists of a pair of numbers placed one above the other, of which the lower defines the length of the note which is to be taken as the basic unit of measurement (in terms of the number of such notes in a semibreve), and the upper specifies the number of such notes in a bar; earlier time signatures, some of which are still in use, consist of stylized forms of a circle or part of a circle (e.g. ? for common time or 44, ? for alla breve or 22).
