Linear Projects the animation value along a line tangent to the function curve
at the end of the range. Use Linear when you want the animation to enter
and leave the range at a constant velocity.
Relative Repeat Repeats the same animation as within the range but offsets
each repetition by the value at the end of the range. Use Relative Repeat to
create animations that build on each other as they repeat.
Add Note Track
Main toolbar > Curve Editor (Open) > Modes > Dope Sheet > Edit Keys > Tracks
menu > Note Tracks > Add.
With Add Note Track, you can insert a note track below a highlighted track
in the Track View Hierarchy. You can make note keys and associated notes at
specific time locations to keep track of what keys do. Do this by adding keys
in Dope Sheet > Add Keys mode, then right-click a note key to see the Notes
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.
