Primes¶
- Lead-and-Support Hierarchy
- The figure-ground invariant makes the composition unit the ensemble, not the channel: the three named failure modes are diagnosable by naming the lead and checking deference. Parallel competition arises if the accompaniment asserts its own melodic line (the texture reads as muddy counterpoint with no figure); over-support if the accompaniment is so thin it vanishes, leaving a bare solo; wrong-lead support if the harmony coordinates to the bass while the melody is left unsupported. Lead handoff — a melodic phrase passing from violin to flute — is a structural event the apparatus must manage with overlap and dynamic cueing.
This sourceStandard orchestration text treating the handing-off of a melodic line between instruments and the dynamic/overlap cueing that manages such transitions.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
