Fable 5.2 reverse-engineers how 1400s composers wrote four-voice counterpoint, then composes

imjustnewatai asked Fable 5.2 to work out how 15th-century composers wrote four-voice counterpoint without scores (reportedly sketching on wax tablets), then compose using the same method, sharing the resulting audio.
Composer rwalterrust had mused that composers 600 years ago produced music more intricate than modern attempts with nothing but wax tablets, and we still don't know how — this thread is a direct test of whether AI can reconstruct that process.
