The operator AsNoteNames followed by an integer range creates a string array whose values are strings of MIDI note names  matching the integer range.

Usage with string arrays:

Var notes : String Array = AsNoteNames C3 .. E3

 
is equivalent to writing:

Var notes : String Array = ["C3", "C#3", "D3", "D#3", "E3"]

 

Usage with scriptlet parameters:

Var notes : parameter AsNoteNames C3 .. E3 = "C3"

 

This is equivalent to writing

 

Var notes : parameter "C3", "C#3", "D3", "D#3", "E3"  = "C3"

 

Note the slightly different syntax between the two versions. In the former, we have created a string array and are assigning a sequence of strings to it. In the latter, the sequence of strings causes the parameter to be a discrete parameter and the assignment is used to specify the initial value of the parameter.
