Live has a notepad already. Right click a clip and click edit info text. It's handy because you can have different notes for different clips and view them just by mousing over them and have the info window open.

@M4LFiend

Info Text is cool, but sometimes you forget you wrote a note for something if you leave the info view closed, like I do.

Text after line breaks is not saved with session, unfortunately.

Correction - text is saved but line breaks / formatting removed.

Thanks for this! tip: disable the patch after writing text to conserve CPU ;)

Cheers

Oh.. It seems that the notepad works even when the patch is disabled in Live - so keep it disabled at all times to save CPU :)

thanks!!

Hi Prebentious. Thanks for your nice Device. Would you be able making it resizable so that it can be expanded or compressed like a window in Windows (Text should be floating then)? Thx.

Also can you please make a MIDI Device out of it?? This way I could put it in the middle of my chains (and not at the end). Thank you!

is there a way to get this to preserve the line breaks?
Posted on February 10 2016 by offthesky (report)

i add comments like:
1. xcomment 1
2. xcomment 2
3. xcomment 3

and when i save/reopen the project, the comments are re formatted as:
1. xcomment 1 2. xcomment 2 3. xcomment 3

any ideas on how to make it retain it's original formatting?

Hi there, is it possible to sync these notes with f.e. Evernote? So i can find my notes without the need to open Ableton Live. Or does anybody know if there's a similar plugin?
