To add: these comments also don't copy and paste from a composition to another (e.g., in another project) --- so it makes it actually kinda impossible to truly move a composition from one project to another once it has been annotated.

Agreed! I am taking notes as I am transcribing interviews and not being able to export those notes is a big roadblock to my analysis work.

Yes, watch Mike Russell’s video on creating show notes using the ability to export (optionally timestamped) notes from Sonic https://youtu.be/00ubRMo2fpE

yes - I left dozens of comments to a transcription and due to a glitch, they were all removed. It took several hours for Descript to figure out the problem and return comments to session. I could not work as a result. If I was able to export comments right away, I wouldnt have lost time. Thanks for your consideration!
