Domain-specific

• Homophony
  • In strict homophony (or homorhythmy), all voices move simultaneously in the same rhythm
• Pedal Point
  • A pedal point (also: pedal tone, organ point) is a voice-leading device in tonal harmony in which one voice — most commonly the bass, a legacy of the organ pedal-board that gave the device its name — sustains or reiterates a single pitch over an extended passage while the surrounding voices continue through the prevailing harmonic progression, often generating dissonances against the held tone before finally arriving at a chord that consonates with it

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? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

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.
