`org-add-note' is implemented a bit awkwardly using post-command-hook, which makes it work only interactively. The hook does not trigger when you use --eval. That's why you are not seeing the note buffer after running the above shell command. What you can do is manually call the function used to raise the note buffer: emacsclient -nw --eval '(progn (org-clock-goto) (org-add-note) (org-add-log-note))' -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
