What sort of "notes" are these? It's too vague a term without some context.
In my day job I work as an amanuensis for Deaf and disabled students. The notes I write (or type) are expected to be nothing more than a verbatim transcript of the class/meeting/lecture. There is supposed to me some marginalia (e.g., student X enters the class room 20 minutes late, student Y is shouting). Except that because of some of the syndromes I deal with "notes" cannot be linear text. Mind Maps, spider diagrams, fish diagrams, bubble charts. heirarchical outlines, even drawings are all in my note-taker's arsenal. Then for those with Myers-Erlan syndrome I have different colloured papers and pens. And then there's layout --- I rather like the layout of the Cornell note taking system; then other days I'll use plain white paper. In my other day job I an a researcher. The notes then consist of everything from interesting quotes transcribed into a commonplace book to fragments of academic papers.to papers and books that I'm editing. Here I need applications (sic) that let me organise these notes for later retrieval, review, and rewrites. I use a mix of Journler, Scrivener and eventually lyx. That's all on Mac OS X, if you hadn't guessed. And I've even been known to resort Apple's Stickies app in both its incarnations (pure app and Daskboard widget). I also carry a ADoc/Levinger/Rollabind-style notebook with me. I scribble notes and jot down ideas on the removable pages and then reorder them for research idea, theological study, language usage, etc later. I doubt that lyx alone could satisfy my own requirements. But you've not provided sufficent context to know what to suggest.
