3. Make many notes

Type the following and hit return.

abjad> notes = construct.scale(4)
abjad> notes
[Note(c', 8), Note(d', 8), Note(e', 8), Note(f', 8)]

Abjad creates the first four notes of an ascending C major scale.

Wrap these notes in a staff and then show.

abjad> staff = Staff(notes)
abjad> show(staff)

The notes variable is now bound to a Python list of four Abjad notes. The staff variable is bound to an Abjad staff containing those notes.
