Automatically copying comments from Code to ASM

I´ve noticed that comments written in the code primitive are deleted when doing the conversion to ASM (using the string output). It would be nice to have those comments copied to the ASM code, since they often serve as markers and would help to better understand the resulting ASM and speed up optimizing of large blocks of code.

A nice addition might be to have the first 20 or so characters from each code line inserted as a comment followed by the asm generated for that line (as a preferences option) so that the conversion is kind of 'self documenting'. Much more useful than the silly '//Assignment sLeft...' comments that we currently get.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
