That's fine -- I think d6 as a melody and z2[B2G2][B2G2] as a harmony in F is probably a wonderful example of melody and harmony. The two voice measure I said is a good example of harmony, but as melody, it it has too many voices. One of the examples of the use of being able to find the melody is for playing the tune on monophonic instruments. So having an ill-defined melody line doesn't work for that. > > Bryan Creer > > To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: >http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html -- Buddha Buck [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I will not die an ironic death" -- Scott Ian, lead singer for the metal band Anthrax, after bioterrorist attacks using anthrax.
