Show excerpts of notes in the task list

(closed account) says:
It's very handy to have the ability to attach notes to a specific task. However, it would be even more helpful to be able to see the contents or excerpt of your notes below your task in some sort of "Note Preview Mode." I have provided an example below:

Task Name Here
- Note 1 excerpt here...
- Note 2 excerpt here...

Personally, I think this would make the notes a lot more useful; though I do realize many people may just use the notes to provide extra information through which to perform a search.

Can I second this

Maybe with a little '+' sign to open/close the notes view when an item has a note.

Notes are just not visual enough

Excerpts are a good idea, as is the + sign for expansion.

Notes are not visual enough, and as I've suggested for a long time, I think a small icon would be just the thing to lurk on the right near the due date for items with notes and recurrence.

I agree this would be a good option, but only for the first couple notes. The interface would get very long for tasks that have several notes.

Perhaps it could have the option to show an excerpt for the first 2 notes, then an indication that there are more notes that you'd need to open the task to see.

If this is implemented, I would love to also see the option to rearrange the notes in a task so that the notes you want to see as excerpts can be moved to the top.
