When I access my Dropbox folder, which includes Pear Note files, from a Windows computer, I see that there's a separate audio file for each Pear Note file. Will listening to it on Windows in any way break the file on the Mac side of things — the syncing between text and audio, for example?
(And I guess you can't access the text from Windows?)
No, just listening to the audio file(s) shouldn't break anything. Obviously modifying them might break something, but listening should be fine.
Note that the insides of a .pearnote document (which is a folder that looks like a single document on a Mac) are internal to Pear Note, and most of it can't be read by anything other than Pear Note for iOS or Mac. So, you can't access the text or timestamps or other metadata.
Also, note that you may end up with multiple recording files inside a Pear Note document. Dropbox has restrictions on how big files can be that are uploaded by 3rd party apps, so Pear Note splits recordings into multiple files if they get too large.
Reassuring ... many thanks.
