A rather more user friendly approach is to open the layer switcher and
uncheck the notes layer.

Well that does it, but let's be honest, it's hardly "user friendly".  A
re-click of the notes icon or collapsing of the left pane is clearly
more intuitive.

Well those disable the add note control, which is logically separate to the notes layer (you can turn that on without adding a note).

The real confusion comes from the fact that starting to add a note turns on the note layer - there are good reasons for that but it does rather complicate the user interface.

The problem with turning off the notes layer again when the add note control is disabled is that it might already have been on before you started adding a note, so we would probably have to remember if we had turned it on or if it was already on .

Trying to figure out what to do if somebody starts toggling the notes layers on and off manually while the add note control is active just introduces even more levels of complication...
