Labeling should work.

Regarding sequencing repetitive stuff I agree.
Though for repetitive midi stuff there's actually a part type called clone
that allows to place one midi part on several places, which can be useful
(though there is a very elusive bug that causes it to misbehave from time to
time).
For audio there's lots that can be added to help with loops. Beat detection,
time stretching, etc..

Ok, basically a comment field for all mixer items. .. And why stop there, it
could be added for parts also.
Interesting ideas, thanks!
