This seems to be the way it works -- (in GnuCash 2.2.9) the "Note"
line (the one just below the "Description" in a double-line un-split
checkbook register view) does not get stored in a scheduled
transaction, though the "memo" lines attached to transaction split
lines DO.

I don't know why it doesn't... though I wish it would. However, I am
sufficiently unsure of the terminology I'm not exactly sure how to ask
for it in an enhancement bug report. If I got the terminology wrong in
this message I hope someone will correct me.

What I do is enter the text I want into at least one of the memo lines
and after the scheduled transaction gets created, I try to remember to
expand the split then copy and paste the text to the Note line so it
appears in the double-line view.
