Thought so. Three of the programs I am reviewing include a common note field for a shared event, with the note field displaying in each participants' events list.
A fourth program offers a separate note field for each event participant. That note field is added when the participants of an event are added. However, I have yet to figure out how, and from what locations in the software, to get back to the participant note field offered by the fourth software.

I use the Share Event extensively, as I did in TMG but Legacy does not work quite as well in this regard.
