actualNoteContentPart: ## Add a Task Menu
  When you want to add a new task to your Calendar Sidebar Task List, use the "Add a Task" menu that's located in the lower-right corner:

  It will create a new task, which can optionally be set to start at an exact time or a "fuzzy time," like "Morning," "Afternoon" or "Evening." If you set the task to start at a fuzzy time, we'll find a block of time on your calendar that doesn't already have an obligation scheduled. 
  
  ## Setting a default note for new calendar tasks
  Each Task Domain can have a default note set. This is the note that will be used as a default when you use the Add a Task Menu. This "default note" is chosen by clicking the icon next to a note in the Active Note Selector:

  If you don't set a default note, then when you add new tasks they will be put in whatever note was most recently changed or viewed. You can always change the note destination of a new task but using the note selector in the Add a Task Menu, but it can be convenient to set a default note.
  
  ## Calendar Body
  Finally, the calendar itself offer three views that you can interact with to drag tasks in and out of your schedule.
