I’m getting an error in line 27 of my addon code when trying to find the note - does anyone know how to fix this?

It would help to know what the error is, but you’re clearly passing a _card_ id to `getNote()`. Use `find_notes()` to get note ids. As an aside, camelcase names, at least in `pylib`, are deprecated, so you should also replace `getNote()` with `get_note()`.
