# 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.
