Best Answer

The 'meter' in music is its 'time signature'. A composite meter contains two or more simple meters. For example 7/4 meter (moderately common in oriental music) can be made up by several ways as 4/4 + 3/4 or 3/4 + 4/4 or even 2/4 + 3/4 + 2/4.

Note: Composite meters should not be confused with compound meters such as 6/8, 9/8, 6/16 etc.
