Hi Anthony,

I can't reproduce this behaviour.

If I put the point at the start of the '  - notes 1' line then hit M-RET
I get this:

,----
| * Heading 1
|   - <point here>
|   - notes 1
|   - notes 2
|     - more notes
| *** Heading 2
`----

RET C-p - TAB gives me this:

,----
| * Heading 1
|   -<point here>
|   - notes 1
|   - notes 2
|     - more notes
| *** Heading 2
`----
