Properties of a note object

Each note object has a number of AppleScript properties in addition to accessing an objects system/user attributes:

• child (action code designator 'child' or 'child[0]'). Read-only note object
• color (i.e. $Color). Read/write text.
• lastChild (action code designator 'lastChild'). Read-only note object.
• name (i.e. $Name). Read/write text.
• nextSibling (action code designator 'nextSibling'). Read-only note object.
• parent (action code designator parent). Read-only note object.
• previousSibling (action code designator 'prevSibling'). Read-only note object.
• text (i.e. $Text). Read/write plain text string of $Text.

In a few cases the property is an alternate way to access a specific system attribute for the note, but for most these properties are the equivalent of calculated item designators in action code.
