But as you chose to set the text of the note to the highlighted text when converting notes via GUI (or AppleScript), wouldn't it make sense to offer that possibility via command line, too (maybe as an option)? I don't know whether it is only because I am used to it, but I think I can more easily navigate my highlights in the notes panel when they have (the same) text.
