Markdown notes that live next to your .als — right-click any track, clip, or scene → Extensions → Session Notes: Open….

What's new in 0.1.1

  • 📁 Multiple notes per project — per-project notes now live in a Session Notes/ folder inside your Ableton project (was a single file), so keep as many as you like.
  • 🎹 Works on MIDI/synth-only Sets — no audio needed anymore to attach notes to a project. The extension drops a tiny silent probe to locate the project folder, then removes it.
  • 🗂️ Global notes (renamed from "Notebooks"), with clear New session note / New global note actions.
  • ↪️ Save-As aware — start jotting in an unsaved Set; save it and the pad offers to carry those notes into the new project folder.
  • 🎨 Cleaner monochrome look — dropped the amber accent for a calmer, native feel.
  • 💾 "Save your Set to attach notes" hint on unsaved Sets.
  • 🔧 Rename & delete notes, copy a note's path or reveal it in your file browser, and a compact/default size toggle.
  • 🐛 More reliable resize, quieter project-switching (no more prompts about unrelated Sets), and cleaned-up release builds (no debug logging).
