Ιδού εξήγηση από την Wikipedia:

"The downbeat is the impulse that occurs at the beginning of a bar in measured music. Its name is derived from the downward stroke of the director or conductor's baton on the first beat of each measure. It frequently carries the strongest accent of the rhythmic cycle."

Explanation:
Χωρίς να είμαι σίγουρη, πιστεύω ότι πρόκειται για το ισχυρό μέρος κάθε μέτρου που στα αγγλικά ονομάζεται "accent".

The two-fourth time should have the accent upon the first beat of the measure.

In three-fourth time the accent should also be placed upon the first beat in the measure.

Example sentence(s):
  • Musical "beat" is grouped into repeated patterns by accent involving the first beat of a particular unit of time (measure or bar).
