Use after the core move or to replace a practice example. Each worked result shows the same kind of evidence the day asks for. → means the teacher’s worked response, not a rule about the only feeling a person may have.

Day Worked swap A Worked swap B
1 Replace A’s pitches with four identical C4 q events → starts still on 1,2,3,4; timing remains regular even without rising pitch. Change beat 4 to G4 h without removing time → five beats, invalid; change beats 3–4 to G4 h instead → four beats, one longer end.
2 Compare C with C4–E4–G4–G4, all q → this version rises then repeats; C begins with a G4 repeat and descends. Keep C’s pitches but reverse order C4–E4–G4–G4 → pitch set stays, contour direction changes; citing order is stronger than “same notes.”
3 Move B’s beat-2 rest to beat 4 and put G4 q on beat 2 → two silent half-cells now close the bar, so an ending may feel more open. Replace B’s beat-2 rest with C4 q and beat-4 G4 with a rest q → four beats remain, but the clear G4 ending is removed.
4 Split D’s final E4 h into E4 q at 3 and E4 q at 4 → duration total stays four beats; onset count rises from four to five. Join the first C4 e and E4 e into C4 q → total stays four beats; the quick two-pitch opening disappears.
5 Post-check transfer with B: change its D4 e on beat 3 to C4 e → the eight half-cells stay filled; the quick pair now starts lower. Post-check transfer with D: replace final E4 h with E4 q on 3 and rest q on 4 → still four beats; the held ending becomes a note then silence.
6 Make E all mf without altering notes → beat 3 is no longer the first stronger event, so its contrast is reduced. Change E to mf–p–p–mf → beats 1 and 4 frame the phrase; pitch and q/q/q/q timing are unchanged.
7 Remove F’s lower C3 h but keep G3 h at beat 3 → beat 1 has upper E4 alone; beat 3 has upper E4 with lower G3. Replace F’s lower line with C3 h on beats 1–2 and C3 h on 3–4 → two strands remain, but the lower pitch no longer changes.
8 A→A → bar 2 repeats C4–D4–E4–G4 exactly, which a listener might hear as insistence; two bars total eight beats. A→C → bar 2 starts on G4 then repeats G4 before descending to C4; pitch contrast offers a possible answering shape.
9 Use B then B with its rest moved from beat 2 to beat 4 → one feature retained (half-beat pair on 3/3&), one changed (silence position), four beats each. Use E then a second bar C4–E4–D4–C4 all p → pitch/timing retained, dynamic contrast removed; log that exact design choice.
10 Post-check transfer with A→C: replace C’s beat-4 C4 q with a rest q → both bars still have four beats; the second bar ends silently. Post-check transfer with A→E: reverse E’s p–p–mf–mf to mf–mf–p–p → two complete bars remain; expression changes while A/E pitches and times stay.
