I've tried a number of things with e.g. plain capture templates that run the above code :after-finalize, using call-interactively, etc. After a cursory reading through the info manual on interactivity I find I'm still a bit lost. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong and hopefully point me to the right manual page to read on this?
`org-add-note' is implemented a bit awkwardly using post-command-hook,
which makes it work only interactively.
The hook does not trigger when you use --eval. That's why you are not
seeing the note buffer after running the above shell command.
What you can do is manually call the function used to raise the note
buffer:
emacsclient -nw --eval '(progn (org-clock-goto) (org-add-note) (org-add-log-note))'
