How to add a List<Note> or a Scale to PatternBuilder?

[seanjmiller]

Fantastic project!
I don't see how I can add a List to a PatternBuilder or even a Scale to the PatternBuilder.
The examples show notes known ahead of time, but what if I want to supply a List that may have 7, 12, ... notes?

You can just add notes in a loop.

foreach (var note in notesList)
{
    patternBuilder.Note(note);
}

Ok thanks. What was throwing me off was that you can't use foreach in the Fluent callout and that a .Build() needs to be called on the added Pattern.

`
var pattern1 = new PatternBuilder();

    foreach (var note in notes)
    {
        pattern1.Note(note);
    }

    Pattern pattern = new PatternBuilder()
        .SetNoteLength(MusicalTimeSpan.Quarter)

        .Pattern(pattern1.Build())

        // Get pattern
        .Build();

`

Why so complicated?

var patternBuilder = new PatternBuilder().SetNoteLength(MusicalTimeSpan.Quarter);

foreach (var note in notes)
{
    patternBuilder.Note(note);
}

Pattern pattern =  patternBuilder.Build();

@seanjmiller Any news?

Yes this works. It just took me with your help and poking through the documentation to do what I need to do with your libraries. The fluent approach just through me for a loop. Thanks for the help. I didn't see a way to mark your response as the answer or close this issue out.
