Excerpt from Counterpoint
Although, following the usual custom the whole note has been chosen as the notation for the canti fermi in all the examples illustrating this work, it is of course open to the student to use a note of any length. The notes employed in the second and third species of counterpoint (usually half notes and quar ter notes) will be regulated by the character of the note employed in the canto fermo, being respectively two and four notes to one. The notation of the fourth species is similar to the second, but syncopated.
