Thanks Scott! I hadn't downloaded all the Stata 10 updates and was thus not
aware of the Graph Recorder.
The code I was looking for is hidden in the .grec files. In my do-file, I
can now remove the unwanted notes from the combined graph using code. This
avoids opening the graph editor and using the cumbersome point-and-click
method:
gr_edit .plotregion1.graph1.note.draw_view.setstyle, style(no)
gr_edit .plotregion1.graph2.note.draw_view.setstyle, style(no)
gr_edit .plotregion1.graph3.note.draw_view.setstyle, style(no)
I don't really get why Stata doesn't provide documentation for this
graph-editing code. In my opinion, this gives Stata the ultimate flexibility
for creating and editing graphs. The -graph addplot- was unfortunately too
restricted for my needs. And the graph recorder is also not as flexible as
coding can be.
Cheers,
Tobias

Why not use the Graph Recorder and then use the -play()- option to
replicate the graphs?
Michael Mitchell's "A Visual Guide to Stata Graphics, 2nd ed.", has an
great chapter on using the Graph Editor. See:
http://www.stata.com/bookstore/vgsg.html
You could also use -graph addplot- to perform some editing as well:
. scatter mpg price, name(gr1, replace)
. graph addplot, title(foo)
