Talk:Contrapuntal motion

A more encompassing title for this article?

Since this article contains information about different types of contrapuntal motion, it seems silly to name it after only one of them (contrary motion). It should be moved to a page entitled Contrapuntal motion (or something to that effect), and all the included terms can be redirected there. Does anyone agree? --Jeeves (talk) 21:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Personally wouldn't have expected to look there, but I suppose that's probably a sufficient term (I'm not a music major), if not simply "Motion (music)". Seems that Counterpoint is long enough that these topics merit their own article. — Nahum Reduta [talk|contribs] 04:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

• Support. The article as currently written isn't exclusively about contrary motion. Merging into Counterpoint would also be an acceptable alternative, but on the other hand there might be enough possibility for expansion to justify a stand-alone article.

Rearranging

Would anyone object if I adjusted the formatting so that it doesn't start out outright by explaining what contrary motion is and comparing it to the other forms? I was thinking that, being titled Contapuntal Motion, it should begin with a short blurb about what Contrapuntal Motion itself is, that it is split into four groupings, and then list the four quite identically to how the last three are presented.
