The basic example is 1234 or 4321, but what if the melody line ascends/descends for more than four notes? Use symmetrical patterns that give a generally ascending/descending impression. Some examples:

5 notes: 13243, 42312, 21324, 34231
6 notes: 121324, 213243, 131424, 123234, 234123, etc.
7 notes: 1213243, 2132434, etc.
8 notes: 12132434, 43423121, 21314243, 34241312

This would most likely fit within your Advanced Pitch Relevance/Counterpoint section.

Seems really specific. I think this is implicitly covered in multiple places.

While this is implicitly implied through connotation and advanced PR, I suppose it could be worth mentioning. Only issue is that it's not enough to warrant a whole entry but it doesn't belong anywhere as of yet. If I can find somewhere to stick it eventually I'll add it.
