This is from a thread titled: "Linking a note a whole chapter" started in 2011 by someone else but to which I commented in 2014.
I have made lots of notes to each Psalm but wanted to give a note for the whole Psalm to remind me when doing Bible translation what some of the best Section heading / Psalm names are from various translations and commentaries and which one I liked best. But I ran into problems doing that. See the copy and paste below (I edited it some to make it clearer):
Here we are 3 years later - I have an issue with chapter notes. I was in the NLT in Psalms and highlighted the chapter text and added notes (to the reference not the selection). Did it for 10 or so Psalms (30-39). Then realized when I switched to MSG or ESV those notes didn't appear. But they did appear in the KJV 1900, strange.
When I highlighted the superscription (the note right below each Psalm such as "A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.") and created a note there, it appeared in every other version in their Bible window.
So it seems like something isn't right there. For now, I am adding notes by highlighting the superscription and creating a note from there. Perhaps it's only a Psalms issue.
On Psa 33 I couldn't find a superscription, so went to MSG and highlighted the number 33 and created a note and that worked. But unlike the others, on the note title itself was not "Psalm 33: title" but just "Psalm 33." So different versions act in different ways.

Scott I have been able to confirm the behaviour you are experiencing. I have uploaded a screencast demonstrating this inconsistent behaviour.

I have an update to the previous post
No Logos staff person has addressed this yet : )
Here is something in addition to that that shows that the MSG acts strangely.
I was in a different book, and at Exo 21.1 created a note (again the reference not the selection). It showed up in all versions I looked at except MSG - it's as if verse 1 doesn't exist (at least for that reference) in the MSG.
If on the other hand you highlight a word or phrase within verse 1 *in the MSG* and create a note it will (using this Exo 21 case) create it as a chapter note labeled Exo 21, not 21:1, so again, as if there is no verse 1 in the Message.
