disagree  Matilde Vianello Sherwood: un beat è un tempo, una pulsazione e "measure" è la battuta.. allora si tratta del numero delle pulsazioni per ogni battuta... ho due diplomi di Conservatorio

Battiti per battuta


Explanation:
Beats per Measure, da non abbreviarsi e confondersi con BPM, che sarebbe
Beats per Minute (battiti al minuto, ovvero il tempo di metronomo), e' semplicemente
"battiti per battuta".

Il 4/4, ad esempio, ha quattro battiti in una battuta, contro il 3/4 che ne ha tre, e cosi' via.
Si noti anche che "measure" e "bar" sono intercambiabili e nel Regno Unito si usa piu' la seconda, dunque nella fattispecie si direbbe "beats per bar" mentre negli Stati Uniti si direbbe piu' comunemente "measure".
