Ok, so what about the content inside the quotes (e.g. `"a3 c#4 e4 a4"`)?
In JavaScript, as in most programming languages, this content is referred to as being a [_string_](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)>).
A string is simply a sequence of individual characters.
In TidalCycles, strings are used to write _patterns_ using the mini-notation, and you may hear the phrase _pattern string_ from time to time.
In TidalCycles, double quoted strings are used to write _patterns_ using the mini-notation, and you may hear the phrase _pattern string_ from time to time.
If you want to create a regular string and not a pattern, you can use single quotes, e.g. `'C minor'` will not be parsed as Mini Notation.
The good news is, that this covers 99% of the JavaScript syntax needed for Strudel!
