Suppress the 'note' field using biblatex

Question

I'm using biblatex to handle my references, I prefer the numeric-comp style:

\usepackage[
    style=numeric-comp,
    sorting=none,
    maxcitenames=2,
    maxbibnames=10,
    doi=false,
    isbn=false,
    url=false,
    natbib=true,
    firstinits=true,
    hyperref,
    backend=bibtex]{biblatex}

this lets me hide the fields I don't want to appear in the bibliography, such as the url and isbn.

I also want to hide the 'note' field but note=false doesn't work.

How do I hide the note? It seems odd that biblatex gives the options to hide fields but not the note, I can't think why.

Add the following to your preamble:

\AtEveryBibitem{%
  \clearfield{note}%
}

See also Guidelines for customizing biblatex styles, section "Suppressing of specific BibTeX fields".

Thanks for the link. As can be seen in the instructions there, the proper command when you use e.g. \footcite is \AtEveryCitekey instead of \AtEveryBibitem. – Supernormal Jul 01 '16 at 11:00
