There is a special case when the first transaction line to be entered has a zero value then GnuCash does not require that there be any additional lines. This does not rigidly follow the double entry concept in my opinion. In that case I am not sure about notes, but I think that they are permitted.
I personally think that this exception just confuses users that may not know about single line versus two line display options and the split line register view options.
