Tonal Counterpoint Proofreading plugin for MuseScore 2 Installation Copy the included .qml files to your Documents/MuseScore2/Plugins folder. Then open MuseScore and open the Plugin Manager (in the Plugins menu). Check the boxes next to the tonal_species and modal_species entries and click OK. Now when you go to the Plugins menu they will appear under the heading “Proof Reading.” Use This plugin checks the whole file, not a selection. Enter your counterpoint melody on a grand staff and run the plugin from the Plugins menu to check your results. If you are writing your own bass line, be sure to enter figured bass where necessary using ctrl-G.

The tonal species plugins have been tested successfully with all of the examples in Seth Monahan’s excellent Two-Part Harmonic Species Counterpoint: An Introduction, available at http://sethmonahan.com/TH101HarmonicCounterpoint.html. The procedures for the tonal plugin are derived from the rules laid out in this book. The modal species plugins currently only work with the cantus firmus below the counterpoint. (Look for new versions in the future that can work with the cf on top.) The rules come from Peter Schubert’s Modal Counterpoint, Renaissance Style and are generally in agreement with Tom Pankhurst's Guide to Schenkerian Analysis, http://www.schenkerguide.com/. The plugin may malfunction if there are rests other than an initial rest in 2-4 species. The plugin also malfunctions if there is a bass note without a melody note present. I’m working on finding a way around these problems, which are mainly a problem with the MuseScore2 plugin framework.
