This just creates a new note in notes.app. To keep it simple, it just uses the first folder in the first account it finds. You can change this behaviour by editing providing the respective names in the "properties" in the applescript.
Usage
To search existing notes, type "n search_term" into Alfred. E.g. "n something I wrote yesterday" (not working in macOS High Sierra)
To create a new note, just type "n note_text" into Alfred. E.g. "n something very important I will probably forget"
To create a note from the clipboard, type "nclip optional_note_name"
Hold option to open the note in a new window after creating it.
iCloud Notes on OS 10.11+
As of Mac OS El Capitan, you are given the option to upgrade iCloud notes accounts. Once you do this, with the normal Notes workflow you'll start seeing duplicate lines in notes. The reason for this is that prior to the upgrade the "Title" of the note and the "Body" of the note were displayed separately. After the upgrade, Notes assumes the title is *not* also included in the body, which is different behaviour, and led to the apparent duplication.
Sadly there's no reliable way for the workflow to detect whether your Notes account has been upgraded or not, so fixing it would entail breaking it on installs that have not undergone this upgrade. Therefore I have opted to make a separate Workflow which is to be used by anyone who has upgraded to the new iCloud version of Notes. You will find that download link below.

Alfred v2
It's not currently known whether the latest release will be backward-compatible with Alfred v2.
If you are using Mac OS 10.11+ and have "upgraded" your iCloud notes, you should use this workflow:
Notes for Alfred v2 (iCloud)
In all other cases, this is the one to use:
Notes for Alfred v2 (non-iCloud)
You can manually download Alfred from our website (http://www.alfredapp.com/#download) and update this way.
There shouldn't be any issues updating from recent builds, but you may be on an older version. Installing the latest version from the URL above will resolve that.
