82.67Level 34 — common-tone melody across major-third roots
Try high:
G♯/A♭ perhaps.
Over:
C major: A♭ is borrowed tension, so maybe choose better shared/common near-tones per pair.
Instead of forcing one literal common tone across all three, design nearest-note line.
Example top line:
G → G♯ → A♭? enharmonic repetition is same pitch, so think voice-leading carefully.
A more useful method:
choose top notes by semitone:
G → G♯ → A♭ is same pitch enharmonically, so not movement.
Try:
G → G♯ → A → etc.
The goal is to make global root leaps coexist with tiny upper motion.
