Hello all - as a workaround I have found this script works.
Just create a normal alfred workflow - keyword (with space, argument required) to run applescript and use this
on alfred_script(q)
tell application "Notes" activate tell application "System Events" to keystroke "0" using command down tell application "System Events" to keystroke "f" using {command down, option down}
tell application "System Events" to keystroke q
end tell
end alfred_script
Hope that helps,
