-'''Notes''' are comments that you can leave around your fortress, each attached to a single tile.  They are both placed and read using the {{k|N}} key, the Notes showing up as custom symbols on the map, with the full text in the Notes menu, much the same way that [[zone]]s and their information are visible only when you enter the zone function ({{k|i}}).  They are also used to predefine stations and patrol routes.

-Activating the menu also allows one to find the closest Note, including across [[z-level]]s, by +/- x,y,z coordinates.  By navigating the cursor nearest a particular symbol, you can read or edit the text of that particular note.  The currently active note will flash when selected - if you move the cursor, you'll see the nearest note symbol flashing on the tile where it was placed. The flashing indicates that it is the currently displayed note, and you can see distance and direction with the x,y,z coordinates at the top of the notes screen.  The coordinates and menu always display the ''closest'' note, even if it's off-screen or on a different level.

-It's recommended that all important levers are labeled, and possibly anything they are connected to, to remind you which lever activates exactly which items, and how, and what the result will be, and anything else that might possibly be of concern.  The more complex the fortress, the more important this can be.  You never know when you'll walk away from a fortress for a few weeks, come back and not know how to do anything - or, worse, only ''think'' you do.

-Consider color coding your notes (and levers), to know approximately what they do - maybe red can injure dwarves, dark red controls magma, dark blue controls water at the source, light blue at the function - whatever works for you.

 This becomes even more important in a [[Main:Succession Games|succession game]], where the next player has no idea what the previous one(s) built.  Also for comments on future plans, ongoing projects, or perceived trouble spots.
