Help writing harmonic progresses

[saritmiki]

Hi guys 

I'm trying to write harmonic progress I'm working with the book of Walter Piston- Harmony

I have to write V-VI of E minor it says to write in 3 different arrangements I found it pretty complicated to do 3 different forms since there are the rules of the parallel octaves and fifths and sometimes tritone.

On the second measure I wanted that F# will be on the sopran but then I'm getting a tritone with the bass C so if I left this F# in the sopran out and now I have B in the sopran I'm getting direct octave with the B in the bass…

On the third measure: I started with writing in the bass B- C
and that the notes in the sopran will be B C but I guess it's all wrong I break all the rules here of the direct and parallel octaves fifths.. so any ideas what I can do?

For IV-V in scale of D+ on measure one is that ok that I didn't make contrary motion so the upper and the lower voices move up?
On the second measure I have D in the sopran and G on the bass so its direct fifth right?
I think that it's ok to write this way because my 2 voices in the sopran goes in a step Smiley

Regarding the tritone- I have to be careful with the tritone only with the voices in the bass- sopran?

When are the cases when I can use in hidden octaves and fifths?

Well I'll be glad to hear any advices you have I'm really breaking my head with this

If you're writing chords in root position, and you have an F# in the V chord, it can't go up to a G because then you would have parallel fifths. So it has to go down to an E. If you're also moving D# to E, that means you're doubling the E, which is perfectly OK.

Your second example is confusing because it looks like you have 5 parts. Leave out the extra F# and E in the bass clef, and just move the top F# down one step to the E.
