Ok, good.
Here are some additional "rules" for 1st species for you to look over.
- We will be using Modes for the exercises (Dorian, Phrygian, etc.)
- No melodic leaps of a 7th, Augmented 4th, or Major 6th are allowed
- The counterpoint exercises must begin and end on Perfect Consonances.
- When the Cantus Firmus is the lower voice, the next to last measure must have a harmonic interval of a Major 6th between the two voices.
- When the Catus Firmus is the higher voice, the next to last measure must have a harmonic interval of a minor 3rd between the two voices.
- In first species, repetition of a note to create oblique motion may occur occasionally, but the same tone must not be repeated in succession more than once.
- Compound intervals of a 10th is allowed
- Voice crossing is allowed if only to avoid less satisfactory voice leading.
