Hey! That works just fine. I just printed it out and played it on the harpsichord. It's fun to play.

but hmm didn't you do just the same as me?? hehe in your example you have above my melody in the 3rd bar and ur new bass line... the last 2 beats of the mass line D E move in the same way and on the first beat of the melody, which does D E too :p

I don't think so. Because there is an intervening note (the B quaver in the melody), the similiarity of movement is allowed and it's not considered parallel. It's only when there is no intervening note that there is a problem. That is my understanding of the rule, anyway. I believe early on there were some musicologists and composers who believed one should avoid any movement like this, but that relaxed. Your solution is just fine - as I said, there are many possible ways out of it.
