Usage

Type any supported symbol sequence (minimum 3 identical symbols) in your note. When you hover over these symbols in edit mode, clicking on one of the symbols allowing you to update the rating.

Rating Text (optional)

Add numerical ratings with these formats:

• ★★★☆☆ - Only symbols, no rating text
• ★★★☆☆ 3/5 - Fraction without parentheses
• ★★★☆☆ (3/5) - Fraction in parentheses
• ★★★☆☆ 60% - Percentage
• ★★★☆☆ (60%) - Percentage in parentheses

The numerical rating updates automatically when you change the symbols.
