I swear, it doesn't me take me this much time to compose.
Counterpoint is pretty easy. You can have two notes sounding at the same time if they both belong to the harmony, and you can move from there to anywhere, as long it doesn't move in parallel motion(both notes go to the same direction contrary to contrary motion, duh) to a perfect octave or a perfect fifth (harmonic intervals), because the voices start to lose independence. Parallel fourths are ok for some reason.
If you want a note that doesn't belong to the harmony to sound at the same time with one that does, it must preferably be approached and left by the formulas in the last post. You can have to non chords tones sounding at the same time as long as they resolve, like two passing notes sounding at the same time.
Hidden fifths and hidden octaves are explained in the image.
If only one voice moves of the two, there will never be a hidden fifth, because there is no parallel motion, this is called oblique motion.
The rest of the image is pretty much self explanatory.
I will apply these things to the melody in the last post, and it'll take a while. If you have any question just ask me.
