Parallel fifths and octaves between two voices: fifth to octave counted as parallel · case 03

Similar motion from a fifth to an octave (G4/C4 to D5/D4) is reported as a parallel perfect interval.

Case contract

Input [upper, lower], equal-length lists of MIDI pitches. For each adjacent pair of positions i, i+1 report [i, "P5"] or [i, "P8"] when the interval (upper - lower) mod 12 is 7 or 0 at both positions (the same class), both voices move (no repeated note in either), and they move in the same direction. Return the list in order; unequal lengths return None.

Why this case matters

Counterpoint checkers and voice-leading validators flag forbidden parallel perfect intervals.
