This is really annoying. This should work, and it certainly did work in the
past. Unfortunately Apple has broken it again. The problem is that AppleScript
has a bug with range specifiers (which we use for selections), and they refuse
to fix this for as long as I know, and in fact that make the bug more serious
over time. We try to work around it, but apparently this workaround does not
work for the “make” command. There is, unfortunately, no way we can fix this.
And therefore no other way to do it. Best we can hope is that Apple fixes this,
but I have little hope.
BTW, no, you can’t merge different note types, that would not even make sense.
