Most time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other: The lower numeral indicates the note value that the signature is counting. This number is always a power of 2 (unless the time signature is irrational), usually 2, 4 or 8, but less often 16 is also used, usually in Baroque music. 2 corresponds to the half note (minim), 4 to the quarter note (crotchet), 8 to the eighth ...
This is a list of musical compositions or pieces of music that have unusual time signatures. "Unusual" is here defined to be any time signature other than simple time signatures with top numerals of 2, 3, or 4 and bottom numerals of 2, 4, or 8, and compound time signatures with top numerals of 6, 9, or 12 and bottom numerals 4, 8, or 16.
The categorisation of the past into discrete, quantified named blocks of time is called periodization. [1] This is a list of such named time periods as defined in various fields of study. These can be divided broadly into prehistorical periods and historical periods (when written records began to be kept).

Time signatures indicate the number of beats in each measure (the top number) and also show what type of note represents a single beat (the bottom number). There may be any number of beats in a measure but the most common by far are multiples of 2 or 3 (i.e., a top number of 2, 3, 4, or 6).
8 is a compound time type of time signature). Many other time signatures exist, such as 2 2 or 3 8. Many short classical music pieces from the classical era and songs from traditional music and popular music are in one time signature for much or all of the piece.
Music with no time signature can not be said to have an unusual time signature as they have none at all. Sure, they fit the unusual part, but not the time signature. Definitely, create a page for music with no time signature (you could link it to this one and vice versa) but don't put them here. Watto the jazzman 06:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Note: Four time signatures involved required creating new sections, thus requiring one instance of {{time signature}}. One time signature has a numerator above 19 and thus the full time signature must still be stated. Revision 1158413555.
