10A big problem here is that "fair use" is a set of guidelines for a court rather than a solid and dependable set of rules. So unless a court has ruled the answer to the question "is this fair use" is can only be somewhere between "probably" and "probably not".– Paul JohnsonCommented Oct 26, 2020 at 11:57

2Bar of music - "24. (music) A vertical line across a musical staff dividing written music into sections, typically of equal durational value. Synonym: measure". 25. (music) One of those musical sections.– Peter MortensenCommented Oct 26, 2020 at 19:18

1But is its use here idiomatic (not a rhetorical question)?– Peter MortensenCommented Oct 26, 2020 at 19:21

2@PeterMortensen yes, it's idiomatic. In this case it's sense 25, not 24. For example, the first two bars of Lennon and McCartney's Yesterday correspond to the lyrics "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so...." (However, it is possible to change the length of a bar, usually by a factor of two, without changing the sound of the piece, so for music that is not written down people may reasonably disagree about the length of one bar.)– phoogCommented Oct 26, 2020 at 21:57

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
