Counterpoint Rules Overview by suriyaprakash is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document outlines rules for writing countermelodies in either a standard or strict style. For standard rules, intervals between notes should be consonant and certain parallel intervals are prohibited. The countermelody must use notes from the key signature and avoid tritones or augmented seconds. For strict rules, the first and last intervals must be perfect consonances and all other intervals must be consonant. Additional restrictions are placed on parallel intervals, leaps, and note repetition.
