Amazingly fast answer by @GrantSmith :)
Beast modes also accept /* */ as comment blocks, such as this:
/* check to see if the shift is in the same day */ (CASE WHEN DATE(`startdate`) = DATE(`enddate`) THEN /* same day*/ /* check to see if the start hour is too early */ (CASE WHEN HOUR(`startdate`)< 9 THEN /*move the start date to 9 */ ADDTIME(DATE(`startdate`),9*60*60) /* check to see if the start hour is too late */ WHEN HOUR(`startdate`)>17 THEN /*move it to the next day and start at 9 */ ADDTIME(ADDDATE(DATE(`startdate`), interval 1 day),9*60*60) ELSE TIMEDIFF(`enddate`,`startdate`) END ) ELSE /* spans multiple days */ TIMEDIFF(`enddate`,`startdate`) END )
This is useful if you have a multi-line comment you want to write.

It also formats lines beginning with # as if they are comments, but does not actually treat them as such.
