You have got two choices:
1) let PARSE handle whitespace automatically. Then you cannot use whitespace
in your rule, because PARSE filters whitespace out.
2) don't let PARSE to handle whitespace automatically. You have to call
PARSE as follows:
parse/all text note-rules
In this case your rule doesn't look correct, because it cannot handle the
whitespace before "bb".
