A description of normalized distributions (measures) lying upon possibly fractal sets is proposed, for example those arising in dynamical systems theory. The scaling properties of such measures are focused upon, by considering their singularities, which are characterized by two indices: alpha, which determines the strength of their singularities; and f, which describes how densely they are distributed. The spectrum of singularities is described by giving the possible range of alpha values and the function f(alpha). This formalism is applied to the 2 exp infinity cycle of period doubling, to the devil's staircase of mode locking, and to trajectories on 2-tori with golden-mean winding numbers. In all cases the new formalism allows an introduction of smooth functions to characterize the measures. It is believed that this formalism is readily applicable to experiments and should result in new tests of global universality.
