I rarely revert anything, but common time does not mean simple time. See Musical terminology#C.
I'm not convinced this should be a redirect at all, but if it must be, let's make it accurate. Andrewa 19:37, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm reverting this to a disambiguation page. Since there now exists a page for Common Time, there is no reason to treat Time signature as the "primary" topic. Indeed until someone makes a page Common time, I would argue that this page should be a simple redirect to Common Time. LyleHoward (talk) 10:31, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- Time signatures are a fundamental concept to most of music and common time is the most frequent time signature in western music and much other music; the assertion that common time (a poorly punctuated form of the proper noun 'Common Time') is the primary topic stems from the fact it is a high-level generic concept, while Common Time is a single entity. Redirects and hatnotes allow readers to do potentially less clicking but still find the article they were looking for.Synchronism (talk) 00:19, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
