Since "harmonious" is a loaded term - are we referring to a vertical

sonority or a horizontal progression - I'll venture a "Why not ?". After

a course in Modus Novus it's surprising what sounds harmonious. :)
But then I'm a great lover of Schoenberg and his disciples, so my

definition of "harmonious" is probably rather suspect.

          if line 1 and line 2 do not intersect in a harmonious way, is
