As I understand it when sharing an event the whole of the original event, description, date, location, notes is shared. In order to add details specific to the individuals sharing the event you assign them a role and then you can add notes which apply only to them when you edit their role.
Frankly, from your description of the method you are using I cannot see any advantage to using shared events. Those of us who have copy/pasted events and hence produced multiple copies of the same source material, there is some advantage to using shared events. In particular if, like me, you make frequent errors when transcribing, I'm not sure it is worth the effort of sharing events which have already been entered correctly.
