I think the appropriate questions are: 1. why is \\ being added there? 2. why would you want to remove it? Since it is hardcoded in org-store-log-note, I would guess that it is necessary to protect the next line from being wrapped into the current line by (say) Latex on export. The \\ is only put in if you are adding a note. -- David Masterson
