In music, simple metre or simple time is a time signature or metre in which each beat (or rather, portion, 1/2 or 1/3 of a measure) is divided into two parts, as opposed to three which is compound metre.

For example, 3/4 is divided into three parts, making it triple metre, of two quavers (eighth notes) each, making it simple metre (simple triple metre).
