Description
NOTE is for musical code where note names are clearer than raw frequencies. Instead of writing SOUND 440, you can write a note name and octave and let sfxlib calculate the pitch.
The name is a string such as "C" or "D#". The octave controls the register: higher octave values produce higher notes, and lower octave values produce lower notes. The duration controls how long the note plays.
The channel form sends the note to a specific sfxlib channel. The shorter form uses the current default channel.

Example
note "C", 4, 0.25
note 1, "D#", 5, 0.25
sleep 300, 1
note 1, "D#", 5, 0.25
sleep 300, 1
Notes
- Use PLAY when you want to write a phrase as one music string instead of one NOTE command per note.
