Specific examples and quotes of note

Combing notes into one sound is a harmony.
The difference in the pitch between two notes is their interval.
The richness of harmony multiplies with each added note:
2-note harmonies have one interval.
3-note harmonies have three intervals (between each other, and each note).
4-note harmonies have six intervals, etc.
Chords are harmonies with 3 or more notes.
Intervals are the building blocks of chords.

In sheet music, notes are written on a staff.
In German, Buchstabe "letter" literally means "book-staff."
In Old English stæf, in plural, was the common word for "letter of the alphabet or character"
stæfcræft "grammar," stæfcræftig "lettered," stæflic "literary"
