Prepended newline added to notes when using templates

An extra newline is prepended when using a template to add an item with notes. This does not happen when adding an item manually. I tried this but no change:

(set! beorg-add-newline-between-headlines #t)

Actual:

• Item

  NOTES

Expected: 

• Item

  NOTES
