What about it? It's effectively what it sounds like, 9 beats per measure. Someone on a music forum described it really well by saying think of it as a 6/8 with an added triplet thrown in. So it winds up having 3 beats, each with a triplet (hence the 9) per bar. Or if you want to simple it up a little you could just count 9 beats.

The 3/8 time signature is a compound meter. The beat within compound meter measures is divisible by 3. Check out MusicTheory.net's lesson on 'Simple and Compound Meters' for further study of Compound Meter. See link below

There IS an 8/10 time signature. This time signature is an example of an "irrational" time signature (time signatures in which the denominator is not a power of 2). A "10th" note would be more commonly called an eighth note quintuplet. So, in a measure of 8/10, you would play 8 eighth note quintuplets. it's important to know that these irrational time signatures only work when paired with rational ones. Don't write an entire piece in 8/10. it will just sound like 8/8, and you would be much better off writing it that way.

This is 6 eighth notes in one measure. It is usually in 2 groups of 3, as in where you accent or tap your foot on the 1 and the 4 when counting 1 2 3 4 5 6.

There is no such time signature as 8/10, because there is no such thing as a 10th note. However, 10/8 DOES exist.

6/8 time is the compound equivalent of 2/4 time. It means that there are six eighth notes in the bar.
