With Add Note Track, you can insert a note track below the selected track in the Track View Hierarchy. You can make note keys and notes at certain time locations to keep track of keys do. Do this by adding keys in Dope Sheet — Edit keys mode, then right-click the note keys to see the Note Tracks dialog. The information you enter will appear in the Key window under the keys.

Any item in the Hierarchy list can have a note track added as a branch below it. You can add a note track to an item in any of the Track View modes.

Note tracks are inserted as branches directly below the selected items.
