Hrmpf. I think I'll be eating my words here. What confuses me now
(playing with the actual implementation) is that I get no feedback on
the size of the Notes. I somehow assumed that there would be some form
of visual feedback...

I actually like the sliders better. And what I would LOVE would be a
visualization of the effect. So a stylized block that shows the three
parts. Something that looks like a profile, something that looks like a
table, something that looks like notes text. Scaled to proportion and in
the correct order as indicated by the "Ordering" radio button.

Ok, I guess I'm dreaming. Not enough coffee, yet. But this would be
cool.

In the meantime, I think we are back to the question "how can we
visualize the size of the Notes section" when changing the other two
sliders...
