Stave:

 ___|)___________________________________________________________
|___/____________________________________________________________
|__/|____________________________________________________________
|_/(|,\__________________________________________________________

This is the very first "song" I played when I started learning to read
music at the age of 5:

 ___|)________________________________________________________
|___/____________________________|___________________________||
|__/|_______/|____/|_____/|______|___________________________||
|_/(|,\____/_|___/_|____/_|______|___________________________||
|_\_|_/___|__|__|__|___|__|___|__|___________________________||

       Here we are at lesson one;  making music is such fun!

Granted, the black notes are difficult to distinguish from the white
notes....

It would have to be taken for granted that people would know that D
major was F# and C# and where those notes are on the stave.

C# to D in 8th notes 4ter note rest:

              |/

Hmmmm. Well, I tried... but it seems that your notes are a bit more
successful


Altering your bass clef:

g minor:

          |--o  |:---|----|------------#(x)-----|--------|------------||
          |    /     |)   |    (x)      |       |        |

          |---/---------(x)----|--------|----------------|------------||
          |  /    |            |        |                |

             (_|             ---       ---       ---

                               |         |         |

                            -(x)-     -(x)-    
-(x)-                      
                                                         
Perhaps you can go on from there....
