  * Thanks to brow42!

  * This recipe deletes any segment notes found.
  * The notes are printed for posteriority.

  * state information in notes after a crash.

This recipe simply prints and deletes any segment notes it finds. It's intended as companion to the "Cysteine Tagger" recipe. It may also be useful in cleaning up after scripts that leave state information in segment notes when they crash.
