Simple metre
In music, simple metre or simple time is a time signature or meter in which each beat (or rather, portion, 1/2 or 1/3 of a measure) is divided into two parts, as opposed to three which is compound meter.
For example, 3/4 is divided into three parts, making it triple meter, of two quavers (eighth notes) each, making it simple meter (simple triple meter).
