This allows us to read and write notes that fall outside the five main lines of the staff.<br \/>\nEach ledger line follows the same spacing and letter sequence as the staff, moving sequentially by step. To read notes above the staff in treble clef, start from the top line, then continue in order: the first ledger line represents A, the space above it is B and the second ledger line is C.
