Simon,

In a way you answer your own question, it sounds to me like you would 
put a tab button on the card, with 2 tabs. Then have two groups, one for 
each set of data, which are alternately shown and hidden by clicking the 
tabs.

If you expect to have a large-ish number of notes, it could become 
inefficient to store them in a stack. Duplicating cards containing many 
controls will eventually bloat the stack size, so you would likely need 
to think about backgrounded groups to avoid this.

When I do this sort of thing though, I typically would make only one 
card, having two groups, and a tabbed button to toggle the groups on and 
off. The actual data would be held externally, or at least separately 
from the display interface, maybe in text files or whatever is 
appropriate. Then just fetched and displayed on demand.
