Hi, the above is taken from page thirty one of the Alfred Mann translation of Fux CP. It seems he's okay with uncompensated for leaks as seen in bars 7-8.
This whole CP journey is taking me further down this rabbit hole ;o)
Appreciate any feedback on this.
Thank you.
Hi, on page 22 there are four rules. Rule three states that the progression from an imperfect consonance to a perfect consonance must be in either oblique or contrary motion.
Then on page 32 he states: "... from an imperfect consonance to a perfect consonance one must go in contrary motion."
So, my question is, which is it?
I thought that getting a text that is considered to be standard work that there'd be no mistakes. Or it could be that I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, would someone be able to tell me what those other clefs are for right at the start of the piece please?
Many thanks.
Hi, I'm looking for an app for my Mac which will allow me to make written notes and include a staff which will playback what I've written on it. So basically, I'll end up with an interactive book.
It's to serve as an aide memoire.
I currently use Dorico for scoring.
Many thanks.
It doesn't matter what I try, I just can't arrive at the situation where I satisfying all of the rules al of the time. I was wonder is others may write an example of second species CP to help me see where I'm going wrong. I've spent hours trying to get this and am getting quite frustrated by it now.
These are the notes of the cantus. C E F G E A G E F E D C The C's being middle C.
Here is the analysis: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MgiQshLfN0PVSgvVLAVoHS6aK_VNGYWX/view?usp=sharing
I wrote the cantus myself and it shows up as being correct on the art infuser checker.
Many thanks.
Hi, I'd like to fit a unit that is reliable and for which spares are available. They are separates. I've Bristan are good. I'm in the UK.
Also, is there much variance in the shank length of taps. In other words, is there a good likelihood I'm going to have to alter the pipework.
There is no play in the pipe work as it leaves the wall, is this usually much of a problem?
Many thanks
Hi. I'm in the UK. A couple of years ago I tried to get replacement tap washers and I bought various brands but none of them fit my bathroom basin taps. In the end I bought tap inserts from amazon. Two years on they are dripping and one of them is stiff. Again replacement washers won't fit.
I've replaced washers in the past in a different house and had no problem with the standard 1/2" and 3/4" washers fitting.
I'm guessing these non-standard units are probably Chinese in origin and that you probably can't get the replacement washers.
It'd be great to hear the experiences of others.
Many thanks.
Hi, I can't believe I missed those dissonant tomes as passing notes in the last attempt. I'm not sure what the error regarding the cantus is all about, convoluted harmony.
As always, I'd be grateful for any feedback.
Many thanks.
Hi, following on from yesterday's post I've reworked the example. I've included dissonances and aimed for a much smoother line. I didn't change it after inputting it into the checker. I'm not sure that what the checker is say is that useful.
But I'm a newbie to the realm of counterpoint and would welcome and be grateful for any feedback and help with this difficult subject.
Many thanks.
Hi I've been messing around with for hours now and I'm getting no further forward.
I gave it my best shot in my note editor before putting it into the checker.
I decided to move on to second species because I was getting my first species correct straightaway.
I understand that in SS, the CP line is treated much the same as the CF as far as leaps etc is concerned. I'm just not getting it.
It'd be great if someone could give me some advice regarding the error messages in the above screen shot.
Many thanks.
Hi, I've checked the about exercise with the Artinfuser checking tool and it tells me that everything is okay.
However, when I think about it, the leap between notes one and two isn't offset by a stepwise movement in the opposite direction. In which case the third not would be a C.
If there is anything else wrong with it, please let me know.
Just wondering if it is, in fact, incorrect. It sounds nice when played.
Many thanks.
Hi, I'm new to counterpoint. Is it permissible to use a note of the same pitch as the peak of the cantus firmus in the counterpoint line? I may have been under the misapprehension that that would be classed as voice crossing.
I'd be grateful is someone could clear that up for me please.
Thanks
Hi, I'm new to this and am struggling to be honest. I thought if I knew how many solutions were likely, it would save me wasting time if I've already found all of the possible solutions.
I can't believe I missed the auto correct in the title ;o)
I'm working with eight bars.
Many thanks.
Hi, I posted my first post earlier today which included an image. As I was posting there was a warning and I can't remember the wording but it suggested my post my be removed.. Also, it was to do with including text within the image. It'd be great if someone could let me know what the correct procedure is please.
Many thanks.
Hello good people. I'm new here. As I continue down this rabbit hole, I wonder if someone might look at my latest masterpiece and help me better understand this elusive subject. I don't see the overlapping voices as per the attached screen shot.
Many thanks.

I'm on Mac and there is no free trial. I see the software has not been updated for a year, which makes me wonder if it is still supported. Unless of course, it is so stable it hasn't needed to be updated.
If anyone has any other recommendations, that would be great, thanks.
Hi, I'm using the book on counterpoint by Jonathan Peters.
He recommends the analysis tool for CP by Artinfuser.
Here is the stave with the cp exercise as analysed by Artinfuser: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c2sdCHcrJ6HAG_0fUaResJ5e68p-Cjiy/view?usp=sharing
The cantus firmus is the lower voice. The analysis tool tells me that the leap between D and G from bar 3 is an uncompensated leap. I'm not sure why that is. I'm not sure about the explanation given on the site.
I'm finding this a huge challenge. I do like the results though. I've alway been a seat of my pants musician in the past and it just isn't cutting it any longer.
I'd appreciate any help.
Many thanks.
Hi, I'm working through the Counterpoint Guitar Method by Jack Handyside. This is one of the exercises.
How did I do? I'm feeling a little more comfortable with it. It's surprising how difficult I'm finding it given how simple it looks on the surface.
Thanks

Hi, I've just had a go at creating something with counterpoint. I bought a book on Amazon and watched a few YT videos. There is probably loads wrong with it. I did it in Dorico.
Constructive advice welcome.
