OK, found the answer. You can to take the second digit of the noteID and change it to be 1 back alphabetically. So, if the character is a “4”, you make it a “3” or if it is an “e”, you make it a “d”.
I don’t know how to convert that second character though. I don’t see an Ascii function available on the GI screen.
OK , problem solved - you have to use the refNoteID field instead of the noteID field.
