Bar
Bar measure
Within the pentagram we find the bar meant as the space existing between two strings located vertically with respect to the pentagram lines.
Within the bar there is a series of music figures whose value sum is equal to the indication set at the beginning of the music text right after the clef. Such an indication is expressed through a fraction (4/4, 2/4, 3/8 etc.) of the measurement unit: the whole.
