I am new to Legacy and its notes and sources. So I have been watching the training videos. In entering Sources, Geoff created a Master Source for a birth date and then added text to the Source Details (transcribed from the book). Then attached the source to to birth date.
Then in adding an event, a census, Goeff went to the Master Source Clipboard and created a Master Source, but did not transcribe any text in to the source detail. Then added the event, the Census. Then he transcribed the census info into the notes of the Event, and attached the Source. So this source has the notes in the event section and not in the Source Details. Although it can can be added there as well. So the question is, is there a reason to put the transcribed the text of your findings into the Source Details and not the notes in one case. And then in another event put the text in the notes and not in the Sources Details. Or should it be in both? Or does it even mater?
