We could put the "Most Recent Notes" into a collapsible pane which lives inside 
it's part of the
vertical splitter. I am just not sure how useful that would be over just 
dragging the splitter in a way
that obscures most of the "Most Recent Notes".

Not without explicit action by GNUmed code.

This would make sense if the "most recent notes" would depend on the problem 
list. It depends,
however, on the soap note creator -- the notelet tab that is raised determines 
which most recent
notes are shown.

It is however, also possible to do both:

- when a problem is single-clicked display its most recent notes
- when a notelet-book tab is raised display its most recent notes
- when a problem is double-clicked this will open a notelet-book tab
  which in turn will display its most recent notes -- which is correct
  with regards to both the problem and the notelet-book tab :-)

not yet but, yes

that makes sense

but it would ask for people having to look from top right to bottom left when 
checking
previous notes during entering new ones -- which is a bit more awkward in eye 
movement
but may not happen all that often

again, this may or may not make real sense given the below:

That's upon the user. We'd have to add explicit code to make it happen
