Thanks a lot. Works like a charm.  
Metadata prefix (and suffix) is a nice bonus. I already use it.

What would you use the prefix/suffix for? Are they something you'd want to apply to all combined notes, or would they change often depending on the content of the notes? Can someone give real usage examples? Thanks.
