For example, music for walking or marching is in duple meter and uses steady quarter notes, running music contains eighth notes, skipping music uses dotted rhythms, jumping music contains large interval leaps, and so forth.

But if it's more comfortable to count "ONE-and-a-Two-and-a-ONE-and-a-Two-and-a," it's probably compound duple meter.

The duple meter laid down by his feet would have knocked against the rhythm of whatever melody or text was running through his mind.

In place of a Scherzo, it features a raucous furiant, a rustic dance that hurtles through constant changes from duple to triple meter.

A saltarello is a traditional Italian dance, usually in compound duple time.
