A Paper Record is What I Hamper

I can be used to mark your place,

When, with less than ten, you will face,

I can be found at your feet,

There is a flat surface at my peak,


I come in once the votes are cast,

With me you can try to visit the past,

I'll demonstrate for you a melody.

An equivalent is a piece of me.




What am I?
Please explain each line and the title in your answer.

          Coins are often used as golf markers




          When, with less than ten, you will face,




          You will have to use pennies in some denomination if you have less than 10 cents

          There is a flat surface at my peak,




          Either a reference to the bank on the coin (the top of the bank is flat) or the edge of a coin which is flat.




          I come in once the votes are cast,




          Money is donated during elections, or perhaps something to do with a count?




          With me you can try to visit the past,




          Coins have various prints throughout the years. You could also used money to travel.




          I'll demonstrate for you a melody.




          Pink Floyd's "Money" has the sound of coins clinking/a cash register/the cha-ching sound of money, or perhaps a reference to when a coin spins around and around before it falls>?




          An equivalent is a piece of me.




          There are different denominations of coins.

            This is actually a little bit closer than your first answer (I would say the closest answer so far) but still not there as you can probably tell. There is more wordplay involved with the correct answer and it will fit a lot better to the clues.

          I think it's...




          a ruler




          I can be used to mark your place,
          When, with less than ten, you will face,




          You can mark you place with a ruler, some tape measures have a max of 10'.




          I can be found at your feet,




          Rulers measure in feet.




          There is a flat surface at my peak,




          The top of a ruler is flat.




          I come in once the votes are cast,




          A ruler ascends to power once voted in.




          With me you can try to visit the past,




          You can visit the past reading history based on the rulers of those times




          I'll demonstrate for you a melody.




          There's a band named Melody Ruler... or... melodies or songs are written in measures.




          An equivalent is a piece of me.




          A broken ruler is still capable of measuring lengths.




          Title:




          A ruler can be set on a piece of paper to hamper it when drawing lines so that it doesn't move, or simply as a paperweight.

            This is a good attempt but you can see there are a few lines which don't quite fit (especially the 2nd and 4th and the title) - also I don't think there is a band with this name but there is a song. There is a bit more wordplay involved in the right answer.

          Wildly different direction, long shot. Trying to focus on wordplay more.




          A cross?




          I can be used to mark your place,




          Crosses are often used in graves in place of headstones




          When, with less than ten, you will face,




          '<'X makes a rather funny emoji/face (sorry, don't know how to escape it properly)




          I can be found at your feet,




          X marks the spot!




          There is a flat surface at my peak,




          The top of a cross is flat!




          I come in once the votes are cast,




          Ballots are typically marked with an x




          With me you can try to visit the past,




          Worldplay on "ex" - ex-girlfriend or boyfriend?




          I'll demonstrate for you a melody.




          Ex. is often short for example; short features on songs are often denoted with "Artist x Artist"




          An equivalent is a piece of me.




          Could this be a reference to mathematics, eg. 'x' is an unknown quantity and as such parts of x are still denoted as number*x?




          TITLE:




          This might be a reference to the 'x' on a contract/formal document, usually denoting a necessary signature to complete/officiate the document.

            Although I can see your thinking with some of the lines, this isn't correct. There is a lot more wordplay involved and the wording I've chosen is pretty specific in most of the poem.

            The use of wordplay is certainly better this time and more along the lines of how to approach the riddle, I especially like the explanation to the "visit the past" line. You can probably feel the fact that some of the lines still don't fit. The right answer should fit better.

            This is a good attempt but you can see there are a few lines which don't quite fit (especially the 2nd and 4th and the title) - also I don't think there is a band with this name but there is a song. There is a bit more wordplay involved in the right answer.

          Wildly different direction, long shot. Trying to focus on wordplay more.




          A cross?




          I can be used to mark your place,




          Crosses are often used in graves in place of headstones




          When, with less than ten, you will face,




          '<'X makes a rather funny emoji/face (sorry, don't know how to escape it properly)




          I can be found at your feet,




          X marks the spot!




          There is a flat surface at my peak,




          The top of a cross is flat!




          I come in once the votes are cast,




          Ballots are typically marked with an x




          With me you can try to visit the past,




          Worldplay on "ex" - ex-girlfriend or boyfriend?




          I'll demonstrate for you a melody.




          Ex. is often short for example; short features on songs are often denoted with "Artist x Artist"




          An equivalent is a piece of me.




          Could this be a reference to mathematics, eg. 'x' is an unknown quantity and as such parts of x are still denoted as number*x?




          TITLE:




          This might be a reference to the 'x' on a contract/formal document, usually denoting a necessary signature to complete/officiate the document.

            The use of wordplay is certainly better this time and more along the lines of how to approach the riddle, I especially like the explanation to the "visit the past" line. You can probably feel the fact that some of the lines still don't fit. The right answer should fit better.
