22compound time
23Time in which two or more simple times are combined, e.g., six-eight time, which can be divided into two, three-eight measures; nine-eight, consisting of three groups of three-eight rhythm; and five-eight, compounded from three-eight and two-eight. See also time.
25compound triple time
26That kind of time in which the number of groups of notes in a measure is exactly divisible by three. The accent falls upon the first beat of the measure and also upon the first note of each group of notes. For example, nine-eight is compound triple time, there being three groups of notes in each measure, and the chief accent falling upon the first, while a subordinate accent falls on fourth and seventh beats. See also time.
