I intended to do 7, with the pitches being F3, A3, C4, E4, G4, B4, and D5. But I've been told 7 is probably a bit excessive for VCCV, so I'm trying to decide what to cut and what to keep. I've finished A3 and C4, and am doing F3. (I really want to keep F3, so I may scrap A3 and keep C4)I think it also depends on how many pitches you're doing. eg, if you're doing 8 pitches and have each pitch a 5th apart, that's, like, 4+ octaves; you'd have to me Mariah Carey to record that. I think the more pitches you have the closer together they can be. eg, I were only doing 3 pitches, I'd probably put them each a fifth apart to cover more range in fewer recordings. But with 5 pitches I have them a major third apart to give a smoother transition between pitches.
I just wanted a general idea of what would be too many pitches, or not enough.
What's a major third? I've googled it but sheet music does not compute with me.
