I re-opened this thread because I think its discussion is unique and detailed enough to not be a duplicate of
http://fold.it/portal/node/990194#comment-12352
which is part of a thread entitled "Bring functions form standalone client". I think the title of the present thread "Let tab button show more information" comes closer to describing the content here and is more likely to be found by future searches. If it is easier to find in future searches, it is less likely to be duplicated.
With band.SetNote, a user can make a string containing lots of information about a band from within the script that actually makes the band. This way, when the script ends and all local variables within the script disappear, this stored information about the band will be preserved and readable from other scripts as well as from within the Foldit GUI. This information will also continue to be associated with the same band even if the band's number happens to change.
jeff101 has apparently played a puzzle since #550

How could you ever let a script print the segment(s) that a band is connected to? I don't see any function for that in ScriptV2 nor ScriptV1, at least in the function list on the wiki.
