Hello Lucas,
Also (in complement of my first answer), to attemp to answer of your two questions ( [hidden] at the end of your code):
I'm facing two issues, and I'm open to suggestions.
The first of them is that I don't know how to use the text formatting (namely, how to insert a new line with \n) inside a right side note - the text simply gets written literally. No good.
I'm having to use a component or a cloud to use the formatting, but then I don't know how to position it appropriately - as you can see, I'm anchoring it to a component, which is not good. I wanted it bottom right.
How could I do this?
As testing with:
It seems that you can use '\n' [only] on one-line notes as :
!$n="1a\n2b\n3c\n"
[a]
note right of a : header_note $n footer_note
but not in multi-line as:
!$n="1a\n2b\n3c\n"
[a]
note left of a
header_note
$n
footer_note
end note
Here is a sum up of the today's test:

If it can help,
