`<note>` appears before where the note should be, instead of after #4

e.g. Genesis 1:1

and the Spirit of God <note caller="-" style="f"><char style="ft">Or, <char style="it">was brooding upon</char></char></note>moved upon the face of the waters.

It seems like the note should be placed placed after the referent, so that it can be rendered like

and the Spirit of God moved upon [Or, was brooding upon] the face of the waters.

(but usx is kind of disappointing in that notes sit in place in the text, instead of referring to a block of text...)

Hello, this would make sense, but the ASV puts footnotes before the text they reference. The NASB carries forward this approach. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen1&version=NASB,ASV
