If the 4 is on the bottom, it means that a quarter note gets one beat.
quarter note
The bottom number in a time signature indicates the type of note that receives one beat in the music.
two
time signature
The bottom number in a time signature is the denominator of the fraction denoting the note value that gets the beat. So if the bottom number in the time signature is a four, imagine it's the bottom of a fraction with a numerator of 1. 1/4 is a quarter, so the quarter note gets the beat.
A 4 at the top of a time signature indicates that there are 4 beats in the bar of what ever the bottom number is in the time signature. For example in 4/4 times there is 4 quarter note beats. In 4/8 there is 4 eighth note beats.
4 4 is a full time signiture i think it means 4 quavers in a bar (thats what my music teacher said) Add : The first number in a time signature is the number of notes (or beats) in a bar (or measure). The second figure tells you the length of the notes - 1 is a whole note, 2 is a half note, 4 is a quarter note etc. So 4/4 is 4 beats to the bar where each beat is a quarter note (quaver) long.
The bottom number indicates what duration of note gets the beat.
The bottom number in a time signature is the denominator of the fraction denoting the note value that gets the beat. So if the bottom number in the time signature is a four, imagine it's the bottom of a fraction with a numerator of 1. 1/4 is a quarter, so the quarter note gets the beat.
The time signature in music is calculated by looking at the top number to determine the number of beats in a measure, and the bottom number to determine the type of note that receives one beat.
5/3 on a time signature does not exist. you cannot have an odd number at the bottom of a time signature there is no such note value of 3
The bottom number indicates what note value gets one beat.
