Jun 10, 2017 at 19:21 comment added John Wu Well, anything is possible, but usually there is only one harmony ("chord") in effect at a time, and all instruments play to it. Notes that are outside the harmony, in general, will fall on weak beats instead of strong beats, e.g. as passing tones or embellishments. In general. Again, there are many books on this topic and there is no black and white rule.
Jun 10, 2017 at 9:45 comment added Andi Giga "different lines can play any note in the current harmony" that means if my bassline is CMajor I, my Melody could be without any harmonic problems play in CMajor iii but not in GMajor Scale (everything is possible but maybe not usual). So I could also have multiple chord progressions for each instrument e.g. bass goes I-> iii -> IV and melody goes I-> ii -> IV -> V?
