Since there can be several different notes that can overlay on the card (albeit one at a time), it seems silly to have all these notes pre-created and invisible. So, the big question is, can we just have a note, then simply feed it the title and body when it is displayed?
Sure. That's how I'd do it. Store the notes somewhere, say in a custom property, and the feed them as needed to the "notes" field group:
put the uMyTitle of btn 1 into fld "myNoteTitle" put the uMyNote of btn 1 into fld "myNoteContent"
Also, since the softkeys change, the behavior has to change for those buttons. The "ButtonPress" message which I previously created was handled at the card (specifically leftSoftkey and rightSoftkey). Since that one card can either not be displaying a note, or have one of any number of notes on top of it, does it seem sensible to create yet another switch statement? The condition would have to check if a note is visible. But the behavior can be different depending on which note...maybe I should create the notes, have the behavior encapsulated in that note (i.e. the field), and pass the ButtonPress message to the note if there's one up?
The buttonPress handler could check to see if the notes field is visible. If so, branch to a "notes" switch structure. If not, branch to your current switch structure. These could be part of the buttonPress handler, or that handler could call one of two other handlers that contain the switch statements.
