In particular, we delve into the characteristics of the generalized multifractal Hausdorff and packing measures and analyze their impact on the broader multifractal spectrum functions. The investigation explores the connection between these generalized multifractal measures and the nature of general multifractal dimensions within this framework. Further, we establish an equivalence relation between general relative multifractal Hausdorff and packing measures by utilizing density theorems. Moreover, we study various properties of the generalized relative multifractal Hausdorff measures, packing measures, and pre-measures.
