Summary	0009143: Attach description / notes to session snapshots
Description	Over the course of creating a song, I like to use snapshots to capture the state at various points of the process. I also often create a snapshot thread to explore a particular idea that may or may not come to fruition. Right now the only metadata a snapshot has is its name, which usually isn't high fidelity enough for the context I want to include. It'd be delightful to be able to attach a text note to a snapshot so I can more easily keep track of which snapshot is which, especially when returning to a track after a few weeks or more of not working on it.

The description is also inhered by new snapshots (which may be fine).
