Thus, two measures of 4 4 approximate a single measure of 8 8, while a single measure of 4/4 emulates 2/2. Half-time is not to be confused with alla breve or ...

    3 time signature: here there are four (4) third notes (3) per measure. A "third note" would be one third of a whole note, and thus is a half-note triplet.

    Full width at half maximum. In a distribution, full width at half maximum (FWHM) is the difference between the two values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value.
