Is that true? I have never qualifiers such as +1.
I guess Bach's prelude in E major from the third partita would be +2,
since it suggest three separate strands?
1 ( melody) + 2 ... what? Threads?
Seems unnecessarily terminological to me.
Compound melody seems to be enough to denote what's going on.
