One quarter note = two eighth notes. A quarternote is also called a crotchet.
A twelve-eight time signature means four groups of three quavers, e.g. the opening number in Bach's St Matthew Passion.If you have 16 semiquavers in groups of four, that is a 4-4 time signature.
This time signature provides four 16th notes (semiquavers) in a measure. That is itself one quarter note from value.
The total value of a bar (a "measure") of music is dependent on its time signature. The time signature is written at the beginning of a piece of music as two numbers, one on top of the other.In the case of a 4/4 time signature, the total value is equal to 4 (the top number) beats per measure, with each beat being equal to a crotchet (the bottom number). The end result is that four crotchets (quarter notes) will fill up one measure.In the case of a 2/4 time signature, the total value is equal to 2 beats per measure, with each beat equal to the crotchet. The result is that two crotches will fill up one measure.And in the case of a 3/8 time signature, the total value is equal to 3 beats per measure, with each beat equal to a quaver (eighth note). The result is that eight quavers will fill up one measure.
The bottom note of a time signature determines the value of a beat. For example in 3/4 time (4 at the bottom:quarter note beats), a quarter note takes one beat. In 3/2 time (2 at bottom:half note beats), a quarter note takes half a beat.
The time signature is placed on the staff between the clef and the key signature.

The time signature is the time and beat of the song, and the key signature is what major or minor it is in
2/2 time signature
its time signature is 3/4
The time signature is placed on the staff between the clef and the key signature.
The bottom number indicates what note value gets one beat.
