Is measure a good synonym for amount.

Can we say for example : I spent a higher measure of time on something ?

Would this sentence be grammatically right ?

Does it mean that : I spent a higher amount of time on something ?

It;s correct, but it is an extremely old-fashioned word. It is still used as a technical term in the field of music. Clive

Shangool22I spent a higher measure of time ...

Nobody talks like that these days. The expression is

I spent more time on (something).
