I've thought about this too, and couldn't find a self-contained solution.
You could have a script for adding notes, which would pop up an
edit box and re-save the PZ3 with the comment added near the
start as svdl suggests.
But if you're keeping the PZ3's in compressed form, that gets tricky.
The really tricky part is the fact that Python doesn't know the name
of the currently loaded PZ3. I guess they were thinking that you
can load and import several PZ3's at once, which makes the
title indeterminate anyway.
One thing I had thought of doing (but never got around to!)...
Use a spreadsheet-readable file as the overarching 'storyboard'.
For instance a CVS file (comma-delimited) which you can handle neatly
in Excel. Then you could set up the whole story in advance, with render
settings and lots of text in their proper columns, and your batch-render
script could use the CVS file as its complete guide. The batch-render
could pop up your notes, make any needed changes in the scene,
and do the render.
