Hi, @iamdannywyatt. I know I’m late to the party but here’s another approach that I find useful: New Apple Note
Note that I found some interesting differences when testing on my two primary Mac platforms:
• Monterey, v12.4/MacBookPro16,1
• Mojave 10.14.16/Macmini6,2
Details are included in the embedded AppleScript comments.
On a related note (no pun intended ), users of Apple Notes might find this macro useful: Float Specified Apple Notes
