I would just add each source and in the text / comments tab I would specify
which 'bit' that source relates to.

Arnold,
You can use multiple sources in a single note by using the old MLA sourcing
technique of putting a reference to the source in brackets at the end of the
paragraph or sentence.
For example, if the source is "Early Fairchilds in America" by Jean
Fairchild Gilmore, at the end of the section,

Arnold,
I have struggled with finding a satisfactory (to me) work-around for this for a
long time.
My first solution was to use the superscript feature of Notes, and write
footnotes within the Notes, i.e. enter a 1 superscripted after a fact in the
narrative, then at the bottom of the notes

My second method I started using later. I simply gave up on the general
notes screen and created some events called General Notes, Death Notes,
Residence Notes, etc. This way has turned out to be much easier and is very
accurate as each note "event" can be individually sourced in the same way

I have two ways of doing this. One is in the General notes screen to source
a series of ongoing notes within the note itself. Above each note I put the
source information, then add the note followed by a series of asterisks
(which serve as a divider bar so I can clearly tell where each note ends.
Arnold,
It is possible to add more than one source to notes, just add the second and

sources which point to different parts of the note. To be on the safe side,
make sure you save between each source addition.
