Hello Geert and happy new year! You raise a good question and no, unfortunately there isn't currently a way to display the notes for a lightbox slide, since the only player elements that you can invoke on the lightbox would be the navigation controls (prev/next buttons). It would make a great feature request to add the ability to display other player elements on a lightbox slide, such as notes and even items such as other player tabs, the seekbar, etc.
In the meantime, what you could perhaps do is create a layer on the slide itself to contain your notes text, and provide learners with an on-slide button that displays the layer.

Hi Jeanette
And a happy 2013 to you too.
Tanks for the confirmation; I anticipated it and did what you mentioned
Cheers

This was so long ago, I thought perhaps there would be an easier workaround that I'm not finding! Any new way to add notes to a lightbox slide?
Hi Ann,
This has been awhile. I see Happy 2013 and we're rounding the corner on 2019 now :)
Jeanette still has the best solution that she shared above. It's the nature of how the lightbox slide works.
