I believe you can change the content of the header line using the
variable org-log-note-headings, but as far as I can tell the format

- header \\ 
  note 

is hardcoded into the function. The "\\" ensures a line break during
export. I appreciate this behavior because it guarantees a clean,
consistent list of notes, regardless of whether they are created with
"z" or via org's automatic logging functions.

Best,
