Are you sure?  Here is a 3 line macro that seems to work fine for me:

  non-uniform acceptance ratio.  {{{note(Add note on RICH detectors
  relying on exactly this feature to discriminate between particle
  species.,inline)}}}

I have attached a screenshot of the relevant part of the output pdf to
show it actually works.  How does the failure happen, what do you see in
