Invertible Counterpoint

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Invertible Counterpoint 

a form of polyphonic exposition characterized by a shifting of voices. There are several types of invertible counterpoint. In the vertical type, the higher voice becomes the lower, and in the horizontal type a voice enters earlier or later (in relation to other voices) than in the exposition. Double invertible counterpoint combines the vertical and horizontal types.
