$LeftMargin and $RightMargin, allow the user to set margins for individual notes.
Note that the margins are set in multiples of 9 pixels; a left margin of 4 is equivalent to 36 pixels (0.5" or about 12.5mm). Prior to v6.6.0, the default was set in the Text pane of the Preferences; it may now be set in the System Attribute Inspector.
When copying and pasting note text between TBX files with different margin settings, the pasted text takes the receiving note's margin settings but the note window must be closed and re-opened for this fact to be correctly displayed on screen. See also Pasting and Text Margins.
In v6.6.0 the left and right margins are always the same.
