if line 1 and line 2 do not intersect in a harmonious way, is
it still counterpoint? would anyone call it that? <br>

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. :)<br>
<br>
But then I'm a great lover of Schoenberg and his disciples, so my
definition of "harmonious" is probably rather suspect.<br>
