Oops. I just found the answer to my own naive question. Simply clicking twice (in Windows, anyway) on a note title in the left-hand column opens the note in a separate little window, and I see that I can have several notes open simultaneously.
This confirms my general impression of UpNote: it is an exceptionally powerful little app, but sometimes you have to poke around a bit to discover its potential.

It’s continuing to improve, but for me it’s only became usable this past week when they *finally* added the ability to search within notes.
But UpNote still doesn’t offer tabs.
And in macOS its menubar/icon remains laughable - unlike many other notes apps the app must be running for the menubar icon to be available, and choosing New Note doesn’t let you create a note from the menubar itself: it simply brings the whole app forward. (By comparison apps like SnipNotes let you add notes, edit notes and search notes from the menubar even when the app is closed. SnipNotes also has iOS and Apple Watch apps, as well as iOS widgets for quick access and quick editing, including adding photos and dictation.)
I bought it and I look forward to its continued improvements, but with the still-unlimited cloud storage they’re promising for the app I remain very wary of depending on it because there’s no way that offer is sustainable with a cheap one-time app purchase.

We’ll now see whether Thomas Dao is as clever at marketing as he is at designing software.

A small question about UpNote (for those of you who have used it recently):
Is there a straightforward way of exporting a large group of notes to MS Word? (That’s how I would like to keep backups.) I see various types of export listed on a menu, but “Export to Text” seems to strip all formatting, and I’m not clear how one could create a single Word-compatible document from the other choices (“Export to HTML,” “Export to PDF,” “Export to Markdown”).

Hm, interesting choice of backup format, but fine.
MS-Word can, of course, read HTML files perfectly well, so that would be my suggestion. You could use Word to save out the HTML file(s) as .docx file(s), too.
I can’t remember if you operate in a Windows or macOS environment? That would make a difference in the case of markdown. There are several macOS apps that can import markdown files and then export them again as MS-Word; I’m not sure about Windows. But frankly, HTML is probably your best bet.
