{ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { \key d \minor \time 7/4 d e f g a bes c d c bes a g f e d2 \clef F \key d \minor } }

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The D harmonic minor and melodic minor scales are:

{ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { \key d \minor \time 7/4 d^"D harmonic minor scale" e f g a bes cis d cis bes a g f e d2 } }
{ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { \key d \minor \time 7/4 d^"D melodic minor scale (ascending and descending)" e f g a b cis d c! bes! a g f e d2 } }
