AKA a Measure.

At dictionary.reference.com the entry for [link|http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bar|bar] says measure. For [link|http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=measure|measure], it says bar.

HTH! :-)

(Who figures a bar is 4 notes in the case of 4/4 time and 16 notes in 16/16 time. Or something like that.)

So then using 4 notes to the bar

I could write a song using all possible combinations and shut down the music industry. Running the scale 3 octaves produces 12 notes. 21 ** 4 = 194,481 combinations.

There's got to be something more involved than this.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

4 beats - not notes

The most common note is a quarter note, this is true, however half notes take 2 beats, whole notes 4 beats, dotted notes take 1.2 times whatever time period they would normally occupy (IIRC - its been a long time since I was a competent dot follower) etc.

So going to back to the riff for Satisfaction in tablature:

E-|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A-|-2--2----2--4--5----5--5--4--2--2--------------------------|
E-|-----------------------------------------------------------|

it is quarter half quarter quarter half quarter quarter quarter quarter quarter

Timing of notes is just as important as pitch in determining recognizability/melody.
