It explains that bar lines separate the musical staff into measures and that the time signature at the start of each measure defines how many beats of which note value each measure contains, such as a measure in 4/4 time containing four quarter notes or a measure in 3/4 time containing three quarter notes. It concludes by presenting a chart showing common time signatures.
