Best Answer

There are far more than four rules. As a matter of fact, there are whole books dedicated to just voice leading. If one were to break things down into some simplified form, though, one could say:

1. Repeat harmony tones when possible.

2. Avoid parallel 5ths, unisons and octaves.

3. Avoid contrary motion.

4. Do not cross voices.

5. In the upper voices avoid large leaps.

6. Have inner voices move conservatively.

7. bass voices may move about more freely than the upper voices.

Voice always changes depending on the instruments pitch, not the other way around... The song is dependent on the sound which comes from the instruments playing.
