Yes this is a deficiency in the current syntax highlighting
specification for Note. It handles monadic Note OK but not dyadic Note
(i.e. with a noun as left argument) which should only highlight to the
end of the current line. I'll see if I can tweak this when I get back
from the beach in a week (if no one else has beaten me to it!).
