How long is one chord in a song?

A chord is not a measure of time. it is an arrangement of notes played at the same time. Measures of time in musical notation are note, measure, bar, etc. The length of these is determined by the time signature, though a "bar" is always four measures.


In a musical time signature the upper number indicates what?

How many "beats" (pulses) in the measure. For instance: * 4/4 means 4 beats per measure and the quarter note gets one beat * 6/8 means 6 beats per measure and the eighth note gets one beat * 3/4 means 3 beats per measure and the quarter note gets one beat * 2/2 means 2 beats per measure and the half-note gets one beat


How many beats are in EACH of these measures (if the quarter note gets one beat)?

To determine the number of beats in each measure when the quarter note gets one beat, you need to look at the time signature. For example, in 4/4 time, there are four beats per measure; in 3/4 time, there are three beats; and in 6/8 time, there are six beats (though it's often counted in two groups of three). Each measure's beat count corresponds to the numerator of the time signature, representing how many quarter note beats fit into the measure.
