This is a list of musical compositions or pieces of music that have unusual time signatures. "Unusual" is here defined to be any time signature other than simple time signatures with top numerals of 2, 3, or 4 and bottom numerals of 2, 4, or 8, and compound time signatures with top numerals of 6, 9, or 12 and bottom numerals 4, 8, or 16.[1]
The conventions of musical notation typically allow for more than one written representation of a particular piece. The chosen time signature largely depends upon musical context, personal taste of the composer or transcriber, and the graphic layout on the written page. Frequently, published editions were written in a specific time signature to visually signify the tempo for slow movements in symphonies, sonatas, and concerti.
A perfectly consistent unusual metrical pattern may be notated in a more familiar time signature that does not correspond to it. For example, the Passacaglia from Britten's opera Peter Grimes consists of variations over a recurring bass line eleven beats in length but is notated in ordinary 4
4 time, with each variation lasting 2+3⁄4 bars, and therefore commencing each time one crotchet earlier in the bar than the preceding one.[2]

Trent Reznor certainly isn't inexperienced when it comes to odd time signatures – "The Becoming" kicks off in 13/8 [...] The first verse, a number of sections in the bridge and the guitar solo in "Keep It Greasy" are counted in the head-scratching signature of 19/16, while the second verse takes things up a notch by going to 21/16.

The working title for [Song for Melan and Rafik] was "Forty-Two," because it's actually in the unusual time signature of 42/16 [...] I think if you worked [Entertain Me] out it would be in a time signature of 256/32. There is a melody that is grouped in 35/16 that repeats seven times and then resets.
