Just to know… what is a semicolon?  
Also, do we have to put space after the semicolon?

:  
that’s a semicolon. Space after it is not necessary.

Thanks. Sorry, english is not my original language.

Wait, using a semicolon was not to change the note’s letter? Instead of an N?

A colon is the two dots (i.e. ‘:’), that was previously in as a way to change the letter used (B:boat). Now you can further go on to change the color with a letter followed by a semicolon (i.e. ‘;’), for example “B:B;boat” would make a blue ‘B’ with the title “boat”.
