Designed to solve 1st species counterpoint, this small program designed and programmed by John Reed will produce viable solutions to many cantus firmi adhering to the rules of 16th century counterpoint. These rules can be turned on and off and the cantus re-solved thus producing more or less strict solutions. You may download the program for free but it is a time-restricted version (will Quit after about 5 minutes). Purchasing removes all restrictions.
Features:
Select which rules you want observed.
Feel free to experiment with different settings.
Enter or load a cantus firmus.
You may repeatedly press 'Solve'. Each time, the program will generate a new solution.
