For that setting....

Some people may find the wording of this field's title to be
confusing. In fact, Notes is functioning as designed.

The purpose of 'Use the Operating System's Timezone Settings:' field
is:

- If set to 'Yes', you can make time zone setting changes only
through the OS. Notes will adhere to whatever time zone the OS is set
to, and you will not have the option to make changes through Notes.

- If set to 'No', you can make time zone changes through either Notes
or the OS; fields become available in the Location document so that
you have the option to change the settings through Notes.

The time zone settings will remain synchronized between Notes and the
OS regardless of whether 'Yes' or 'No' is selected for the 'Use the
Operating System's Timezone Settings:' field.

So, as far as I know the only way around it would be to change the
application to not adjust the time but the options around that may not
suit your needs.
