This is not really a BibDesk question, it's about bibtex styles (BibDesk only
manages the data).
And to change the bibtex output you need to change the bibtex style file, which
is not a simple thing to do.
"Notes" is a standard additional bibtex field that is basically valid (and in
most styles added) for any type, even though it's not included in the
required/optional fields of the types. But also that is a bibtex issue, not
BibDesk.
