GraphViz - How to have a subgraph be left-to-right when main graph is top-to-bottom?

I have a graph file like this:

digraph {
    "Step1" -> "Step2" -> "Step3";

    subgraph step2detail {
        "Step2" -> "note1";
        "Step2" -> "note2";
        "Step2" -> "note3";
        "Step2" -> "note4";
        rankdir=TB
   }
}

I want the subgraph step2detail to hang off to the right of 'Step2'.

Right now it looks like this:

I want Step1, Step2 and Step3 to all be vertically under each other and in 1 column.

rankdir doesn't work directly in the subgraph, but if you add another set of curly braces - whatever that's called - rankdir works:

digraph {
    "Step1" -> "Step2" -> "Step3";

    subgraph step2detail {
        {
            "Step2" -> "note1";
            "Step2" -> "note2";
            "Step2" -> "note3";
            "Step2" -> "note4";
            rankdir=TB
            rank=same
        }
   }
}

Use the command: rankdir=LR;

digraph {
rankdir=LR;

    "Step1" -> "Step2" -> "Step3";

    subgraph step2detail {
        "Step2" -> "note1";
        "Step2" -> "note2";
        "Step2" -> "note3";
        "Step2" -> "note4";
        rankdir=TB
   }

}
