Bar

In musical notation, a bar (or measure) is a segment of time defined by a given number of beats, each of which are assigned a particular note value.  Dividing music into bars provides regular reference points to pinpoint locations within a piece of music.

If I told an orchestra this:  “We will begin at bar 34”,

everyone would know immediately and exactly where to begin playing. 

I suppose I could also say “meet me at the 34^th Street Bar” and some of you would know where to go for that meeting.  But let’s not go there right now.

At least in music, when we meet at a designated bar we don’t inhibit our abilities – usually.
