The different stress patterns may include 2 2 3 or sometimes 2 3 2. Therefore similarly to 6 8 9 8 and 12 8 in which the groups of eighth notes are beamed together to a larger count in 5 8 and 7 8 they are also beamed together to make a larger count. Measure divided into 7 notes of equal duration usually 7. In this type of time meter each bar is divided into seven 7 notes with the same equal duration typically 7 4 or 7 8.
