Confusing

"In musical notation, a bar or measure is a segment of time defined as a given number of beats of a given duration."

This is the first line, and I don't understand it fully. Is the same meaning derived by typing: (?) "In musical notation, a bar or measure is a segment of time defined as a given number of beats in the segment of time."

If it means the same thing I prefer the latter, because it's more clear to me.Logictheo 07:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

word preceded has 2 meanings?

Since it seems it means both 1. Go before than, and 2. Has higher rank (with other words, has something extra), I'm replacing the word with the meaning behind each word. Comments welcome. Logictheo 09:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
