Ascending and descending scales in a five-note group is the most frequently seen in this style, which creates an interesting flavor as in playing on a slide.
Stepwise motions are greatly preferred in cantus firmus style. This Style Model is characterized with successive stepwise motions in the same direction, which appears at least four times to form a five-note group.

More daring with larger disjunct (over fourth), some beautiful combinations would be created. It is especially interesting with a downward progression of the fourth at the beginning.
In this model the cantus firmi are featured with at least one leap in interval of octave and two leaps in intervals greater than thirds.

A mixture of stepwise motion and thirds, sometimes with an exotic flavor of the pentatonic scale.
In this Style Model, the melodic interval of cantus firmi is mainly comprised of seconds and thirds, and the combination of a successive seconds and thirds (or vice versa) takes at least 50%.

Often going upwards with stepwise motion mixed with thirds from the very beginning, continues to the distance of the seventh, or even a bit further at times.
The cantus firmi with successive upward stepwise and thirds motions.

Swinging up and down to find a balance at the beginning of the work, forming a lingering figure.
In this Style Model the cantus firmi are initiated with a four-note figure comprised of intervals less than fifth with at least one interval greater than second, and the successive notes are going in opposite directions.
