(a) Metrical rhythm in which every time value is a multiple or fraction of a
fixed unit of time, called →beat, and in which the normal
→accent recurs in regular intervals, called
→measure. The basic scheme of time values is called
→meter. (b) Measured rhythm which lacks regularly recurrent
accent. In modern notation such music appears as a free alternation of
different measures. (c) Free rhythm, i.e., the use of temporal values having
no common metrical unit (beat).
