Note
Two jobs share one spelling here. As a focusing word it picks a standout case out of a larger set, often as most notably and set off by a comma: upgraded seating, most notably with upholstery. As a manner word it sits beside a verb and means markedly, as when a new series diverges notably from the original. Position tells them apart: after a comma it points; beside a verb it measures.
