Looking over the rules for creating art in no future, page 59, I find it will hard for characters to make some great stuff if this a single test, with threshold of 6 successes, or 4 with composing specialized.

So is it 1 roll, as RAW as it appears to be or extended test and the author forgot to mention it??

A threshold of 6 is appropriate to a "Very Hard" task, per pg 45 of the core rulebook.

By comparison, a threshold of 6 for an extended task is "Easy", per pg 48.

It's pretty obvious to me that making a notable work of ark is "Very Hard" rather than "Easy".  Besides, if it were an extended test, there'd be an interval annotated as per pg 48.
RPG mechanics exist to give structure and consistency to the game world, true, but at the end of the day, you’re fighting dragons with algebra and random number generators.
