How do I calculate the duration of a measure?

Use the `get_measure_duration` tool by providing the BPM, the numerator (beats per measure), and the denominator value (e.g., 4 for quarter notes).

Can this tool identify compound meters?

Yes, the `analyze_meter_structure` tool will determine if your time signature is Simple, Compound, or Additive.

How do I find polyrhythms for a specific tempo?

Use the `calculate_rhythmic_relationships` tool with your time signature parameters to see possible rhythmic ratios.
