Thanks, I now understand that Skim doesn’t control this info. Is it perhaps possible to learn somehow whether the "current page" is a left or right page in a 2-page layout? That way I could check the “other page” pretty easily. > 'note selection’ property is the selection in the notes table, not the > selection in the PDF, so they have absolutely no relation to visibility, and > also doesn’t change when you scroll. This isn’t what I observe. At least on my Skim (Version 1.6.8 (138), MacOS 11.3) when no note is selected, the “selected note” in the notes table definitely changes as you scroll and new pages come into view. But not all notes get selected by this implicit scrolling change (especially in 2 page view), and some are selected before the page they are on is scrolled into view. By experimenting, the rule appears to be that as soon as a new page comes into view (i.e. it takes up >50% of the vertical space), the topmost note on that page is selected in the notes table. There is a bug in this 2-page scrolling (perhaps in PDFView, this is MacOS 11.3): the current page (even one sided) stops getting updated sometimes, except on single-view pages (like the first). You most close and re-open the file for it to recover from this.
