Description
Currently, under the edit menu, there are options labeled "Undo" and "Redo". I think it may be useful to add a little extra context to those actions. For example, if you just deleted a note from the piano roll, it might say "Undo delete note", or if you just changed a note's volume, it could say "Undo change note volume".
The main use for this is for when you're undoing many actions in order to get back to a specific edit you made a while ago. When undoing several actions, sometimes not every one has a visible effect, so it's hard to return to the exact state you have in mind. Descriptive text would be helpful here.
Anyone have strong opinions for/against this?

Research direction
The issue does not identify any files, tests, or entry points. First determine where the Edit menu's Undo and Redo actions are defined and how actions are named; done would mean those labels include useful descriptions for representative edits such as deleting a note or changing its volume.
