Counterpointer is the first counterpoint instruction software ever to offer evaluation of both species and free counterpoint, and can serve both as a self-contained introduction to counterpoint and as a tool to accompany counterpoint textbooks. Version 2 is a free upgrade for all current Counterpointer customers and offers a new interface and compatibility with the latest computer systems (if you own an older copy of Counterpointer just visit our Installers page and use your serial number to download the new one).

- Species counterpoint exercises based on the Fux examples (2, 3, and 4 parts)
