Gotcha, after this great advice, I am also able to get the following result:
```
- Note taken on [2022-06-26 Sun 22:31] \\
  Adding test note
* test
```

However, even after toggling 'M-x toggle-debug-on-error', it didn't enter the debugger since I guess this would be considered a 'user error' according to the '*Messages*' buffer present:
```
user-error: Before first headline at position 43 in buffer orgModeNoteBug.org
```
I checked 'org.el' which has the related 'org-add-note' function present.

This appears to call the 'org-add-log-setup' function, and passes the 'note' argument to it.

I then took a look at the 'org-add-log-setup' function.

From the bug's nature itself, it most likely is moving the cursor incorrectly to the previous line above it, when it should be really doing it on the line AFTER it.

This to me is probably the 'moving' section that should be modified:
```
  (move-marker org-log-note-marker (point))
```

It's probably the position that needs to be recalculated or adjusted accordingly. 

I used 'C-h f' and found that 'move-marker' is just an alias for 'set-marker' which is in the Emacs codebase itself.

I think the issue is HOW we are calling it here.

Can you give me a few pointers in terms of how we can maybe force it to go to the next line instead of adjusting it based on the point present?

Thanks,

Sam
