I am still in the process of making a similar style kind of book to https://fac.ksu.edu.sa/sites/default/files/numerical_analysis_9th.pdf. This mostly includes having section numbers as well as theorems and figure labels in the left margin.

Currently I am using the marginnote package to try and accomplish this however, when the font is large, say using the huge command or fontsize the margin notes are misaligned vertically from the text. I was wondering if someone could help me with this, or if I should even be using marginnotes to do this (maybe there is a different better way).

Anywho, here is my MWE class file and corresponding tex file. Thanks.
