I cannot work out how to put a table caption and label at the bottom of a multiple page table created with ThreePartNotes and longtable. The format I must use for my tables is for the caption to be underneath. What I have ended up with:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{longtable, booktabs}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[table, dvipsnames]{xcolor} % must be imported BEFORE tikz
\usepackage[noabbrev,nameinlink]{cleveref}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}
\usepackage[online]{threeparttablex}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\definecolor{LightGray}{gray}{0.9}
\begin{document}
My table is \Cref{tab:OriginalSP}.
\begin{ThreePartTable}
\begin{TableNotes} %%% This should come before longtable and it is not tablenotes but TableNotes
\footnotesize
\item[a] Blah.
\item[b] Blah.
\item[c] Blah.
\item[d] Blah.
\item[e] Blah.
\item[f] Blah.
\item[g] Blah \enquote*{Blah} blah \enquote*{blah}. Blah \enquote*{Blah}.
\end{TableNotes}
\begin{longtable}{l l l}
\toprule

\multicolumn{3}{l}{{\emph{Continued on next page}}} \\
\endfoot
\bottomrule
\insertTableNotes

I am getting noalign errors.
This answer from 2014 suggested that I needed to do a \\ after the caption and label command, using the format:
\caption{Captions should appear on top of tables}\label{tbl:table}\\
I still got the noalign problem.
This answer from 2018 also had the \\ solution. I tried it with and without the \label and it didn't work. When I use \\ they show as an error in the latex code (orange highlight), even before I try to compile to PDF.
I thought I was following the Longtable manual (see p.4 of that) for captions, I can't see where I am going wrong.
If I comment out the \addlinespace and the caption/label lines it compiles to PDF.
\\) two lines in table headers: \insertTableNotes and \caption. After terminate those lines properly (by addiding\\at the end of lines), compilation works fine. I wonder why you like to have caption at the end of table at its bottom? That is not good praxis ...
