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.

You may download the program for free but it is a time-restricted version (will quit after about 5 minutes). Purchasing removes all restrictions. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: MAC 10.2 or later.

FEATURES

Select which rules you want observed.
Feel free to experiment with different settings.
