I'm not able to auto-generate notes, then delete some of them.

e.g., a row contains the auto-generated notes:

    [1,2,3,4,5] [1,2,3] [1,2,3] [1,2,3]
I can't remove 1,2,3 from the first cell.

Yeah they conflict, haven’t really worked too much on how to resolve this. I mostly did the auto generated notes as I found them cool, how did you expect them to work? Currently they are live updating, but I guess a one of action might more sense?
It's tricky for sure to do it without complicating the interface. You'd need separate concepts of allowed notes and denied notes. If I say a not can _not_ appear somewhere, then it should purge that note forever. But how to portray that concept to the user?
I thought it might work a little like the NYT sudoku app: placed numbers delete candidate notes automatically, but you can also manually toggle candidates on/off. I guess a once-off generation would probably work to achieve this?
