Godzilla KingKongratulations! Welcome to second species
counterpoint!   Okay. Second species counterpoint is just like
first species, but instead of note against note, you're going to
place two notes of melody against one note of Cantus, or two
half notes against a whole note. Get ready to hear the same
rules over again, but with fun additions!    1. Each measure can
only contain one harmony.   2. The first half note in each
measure must be a chord tone, or part of the chord you are
dealing with. See #1. Somtimes figured bass helps with keeping
your chords straight.   3. The second half note in a measure can
be a chord tone, thus involving skips, neighbors, and passing
tones.   4. The first measure in this species must always
contain a half rest and a half note. This half note must be a
chord tone and must be part of the tonic harmony (or I chord,
for you progressives), either the 5th or octave (or their
compounds) or unison with the bass. Although if you only ever
make it unison with the bass you're some kin
