Managing notes is very similar to managing references. The commands have analogous names and functionality. If you've familiarized yourself with managing references, the notes part should not be too hard either.
Extended notes must be supplied as datasets according to the xnote DTD. Add them to the database using the addnote command. Each file supplied to this command may either contain a single xnote element or several of these wrapped into a xnoteset element.
The id attribute, if any, will be ignored when you add extended notes. The database engine will assign each note a new, unique identifier. The citekey attribute will be honored unless there is a clash with an existing note. In this case refdbd will refuse to add the note.
If you want to overwrite or update an existing note, use the updatenote command instead.
