note within a note 9/8 is by far most commonly seen in its compound triple form, where three beats of dotted crotchets divide into three quavers each. Note that 9/8, depending on how it is divided, can be either an example of this trope or compound time. 4/4 is referred to as 'simple quadruple time' (4/2 would also be this), 2/4 is 'simple duple' (along with 2/2, 2/1, 2/8, you get the idea) 6/8 is 'compound duple' (equivalent to 2/4 in simple), 9/8 'compound triple' (equivalent to 3/4) and 12/8 compound quadruple (equivalent to 4/4). Simple has each beat divide into two, compound has each beat divide into three. Regular time signatures are divided into the categories of 'simple' and 'compound' time. 3/4, sometimes called 'three-quarter time' and the canonical meter for waltzes, is also fairly intuitive - if you've ever been taught to waltz by counting 'step, two, three, step, two, three' then you know how it works. There's also 2/4 and 2/2 ('cut time'), which aren't much different - all the bars still divide evenly into two, which makes these useful meters for marches two beats per measure equals one measure per pair of steps.

In music, the most encountered time signature is 4/4, boring old Common Time.
