measure signature

Republican lawmakers also passed a bill that would require ballot measure signature gatherers to give the secretary of state information including their driver’s license number and the length of time at their current and past two addresses.

E.g., when a measure signature changes from 2/4 to 6/8 with a change in beat-note from a quarter to a dotted-quarter, but with the same tempo carried through the entire movement.

The development of the neumes into notes of various shapes indicating relative time values and the division of the staff into measures with a definite measure signature at the beginning are natural developments of the earlier primitive idea.
