## Edit extended notes

Use the same strategy as you would for references:

- First retrieve the notes you want to edit with the getnote command and write the output to a file:

      	  refdbc:
      	  getnote -d bar -o foo.xml -t xnote :NID:=4 OR :NCK:=biochemistry1999

- Now use your favourite XML editor to edit the notes. Keep the `citekey` and `id` elements alone, as at least one of them is required to match the dataset with the existing copy in the database.

- Finally use the updatenote command to update the reference in the database:

      	  refdbc:
      	  updatenote -d bar foo.xml
