In particular, note text and other/unknown line chunks.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked articles and the ZipStorer project to compare in-memory compression approaches for C#. Identify where large string objects, note text, and other or unknown line chunks are stored in YAGP. Done should include a documented approach and evidence that compression improves memory usage without unacceptable parsing or access costs.
