Add improved visualizations for notes (inline, wide margin, etc)

I'd love to see additional visualization options for anchored notes and potentially anything else that has a Bible reference association. Wide margin is one possibility. You could potentially achieve this by adding a "Notes" section to the Insights panel. It would be great if the Insights panel could be configured similar to custom guides (turning things on / off), and it should save as state for any custom layout as well. This would allow a strict personal notes view as a wide margin, for example.

I'd also love to see an "inline notes" feature. Here's an example of that in the NIV+ bible app:

It would be great if I could actually select a set of resources / notes I wanted inline like this!

    Actually, Insights panel, while nice, wouldn't be quite the same as wide margin since you couldn't read ahead - it should probably be its own panel or something.

    Hi @Sean T,

    Thank you for the idea. A wide margin Bible style of notes is for sure needed. It is also pretty basic, not only being in Accordance, but I think most free Bible softwares allow notes to run in parallel. That said, I am concerned about it being connected to "insights" as I thought that is not part of the basic program (I don't think it is even on my v.10, if I am not mistaken). So in short, I would see notes running in parallel with the text under the category of "basic functionality."

    Yeah I realized after the fact that Insights panel probably wouldn't work quite right, anyway, because it doesn't scroll along, and you can't read ahead. I would still like the option to show my notes in the Insights Panel additionally, however.
