Number of children belonging to the current note (read-only).

This returns the count of direct children (i.e. one level down) and not all descendants. For a count (usually larger) of all notes below this see $DescendantCount.

The count excludes adornments, which are counted in $AdornmentCount.

Usually, rules and queries to test whether a note has children will test $ChildCount. But for export if you want the expression to be false if the note has children but none of the children are exported, then using ^if(^childLinks^)^ …is better.
