Description
Your idea
Ability to mark a a history entry as a check point for easy reference.
Problem to be solved
Often times while composing you'd go on a tangent to try out some little idea(s) that may or may not work and you'd end up undoing many steps and trying to guess the point at which the original score state was before testing out the new idea.
It would be very helpful if we could pin down a history checkpoint to organize the forementioned workflow.
It would also be SUPER COOL if checkpoints could be stored within the file and loaded each time it is opened. This would sort of be like saving different verrsions of the score.
