75.30Level 14 — large surface interval, smooth harmonic target
You can have a dramatic leap on the surface while guide-tone motion underneath remains smooth.
Example:
previous harmony melody note high C.
Next target B on G7.
Surface movement might include octave displacement.
But structurally:
C→B.
That semitone still controls the harmony.
This is important.
