Yes, that is mixed content (a mix of text and element(s)). To define a
complex type for the NOTE element, you should use whatever you'd use
if it *wasn't* allowed to hold text:

<xs:complexType name="NOTEType">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="PART_FIG_ITEM_REF" type="xs:token" />
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

and then add a mixed="true" to the <xs:complexType> element:

<xs:complexType name="NOTEType" mixed="true">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="PART_FIG_ITEM_REF" type="xs:token" />
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

Cheers,

Jeni
