How many lines is a "bar"?

Pharaohs Army · 08-04-2020, 07:57 PM

A bar is 2 lines.

I don't know where people come up with the idea that it's one line. If it was one line we'd just say "1 line" and there'd be no need for the term "bar". Line and Bar are not synonyms.

this thread again?

It's still being argued.

‘Bar’ has multiple meanings. It can mean either in context

You want it both ways?

I say one or the other.

Lmao I love this thread

1 bar = 2 line

Rappers are the worst.

A bar is 8 beats. Doesn't matter how many "lines" you fit in that measure.

uh-oh · 08-04-2020, 08:24 PM

4 beats*

Rappers are notoriously retarded when it comes to slang terminology. Case in point, calling magazines for firearms "clips".

A bar is generally 4 beats which is what we consider to be one line.

Rappers aren't the only ones who call them clips. It's a common slang.

I've always known a bar to be 2 lines. So we will have to agree to disagree.

Bar is a measure. 4 beats to a measure. There's no debate there.

I debate this

I have disproven the notion in this thread

You can have an 8 beat bar

You can have a 27 beat bar

Everyone is right

And everyone is wrong
