Is it possible to set a note layer text from a lua-script?
I haven't found a way to do this but thought I might be missing something.

I always have wanted it too but never have found the way, at least in the Scripting Documentation or even with that tools to print all the available Lua values & funtions, so... I think it's not possible although I'd like to be wrong...

Too bad! I had a really useful script thought up but i dont think I can create it without being able to temper with the note from the script.

...BTW! somebody (fazek, I believe...) said something in the past about the possibility of store some string info using Switch Layers and its Switch Values, that seemed to me like a very good idea over all cause it could even change over the time... So, well, I don't really know nothing about your script (although I'd want ), but if you are looking for a way to store some animatable data inside a Moho document by scripting that could be the key. Precisely I'm now making some experiments with that possibility, we'll see...

That's an interesting possibility, unfortunately it wouldn't help me in this case.
I need to display some data onscreen, changeable over time and renderable.
The only way to display text is with note layers (since the text tool creates vector layers).

I think I can create a solution not using scripting but that wouldn't be at all as elegant.
