![]() ![]() The number 4 refers to the quarter note, so this is the reference figure. Informs which figure will serve as a reference for the analysis. This fraction 4/4 determined that a bar would have 4 quarter notes. Notice this fraction ( time signature) below, which appears at the beginning of the sheet music we have just analyzed: Time Signature Great, but what sets the time/length of a measure? Where is it written that each bar will have a length of 4 quarter notes? This reference only tells us the time that a bar involves, regardless of the figures that are there. Moral of the story: saying that “4 quarter notes can fit in one bar” does not mean that in one bar there can only be quarter note figures. The same is true for bars 1 and 3, which have other figures equivalent to the length of 4 quarter notes. There are several figures (quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes and thirty-second notes) in it, but all of them together occupy the length of 4 quarter notes, so they stay within the same bar. In this example, pay attention to the second bar. This is the time interval defined for each bar, and there could be other figures in the middle, see: ![]() This means that 4 quarter notes can fit within each bar. In this example, what was the organization used for bars? It was to separate groups of 4 quarter notes. This time interval is represented by vertical bars, as in the example below (highlighted in orange) Example of Musical Bar Lines A Bar is a way to divide a song in equal time intervals, with the objective of organizing the structure and facilitating the orientation for the reader. ![]()
