  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.
• svankov · February 08 2011
  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 :)

• loseen · January 26 2014

  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.
• udobehm · May 27 2015
  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!
• offthesky · February 10 2016
  is there a way to get this to preserve the line breaks?
• offthesky · February 10 2016
  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?
• DeStef · January 07 2022
  Thank you for this! Very useful.

  The best way is to type like the C/C++ code, break each line with ; so that you could recognize which is one line.
