if you think of the different typeface as
a "bracketing" mechanism, solutions will
present themselves, such as surrounding
notes in _actual_ brackets (straight or curly).
you can also prepend the notes with a label,
like the word "note: " (notice the semi-colon).
some ascii-based viewer-apps -- like mine --
will then treat that paragraph in a special way
(e.g., by colorizing it), since that's how _plays_
get formatted correctly.
if the notes are short enough, you can even
mark them as italic, or bold.
or indentation, as andrew suggested, works.
similarly, you can wrap those paragraphs to a
much shorter line-length. basically, anything
that makes the notes _distinctive_ will work...
