I have this in a projects file:

#+TODO: TODO(t!) WAITING(w!) DONE(d!) CANCELED(c@)

When I move something from TODO to WAITING, it adds a timestamp without asking 
for a note.  That's fine 8 or 9 times out of 10 ... but sometimes I want to add 
a note too.

If I use the @ it will always ask me for a note, and I have to C-c C-c to get 
out of that.  I'd like to avoid that if I can.

Is there a way (a prefix or alternate command) that I can use to have Org let me 
add an optional note when I change a TODO state?

I see that C-c C-z (org-add-note) adds a note, but it does it to the item as a 
whole, not to the WAITING workflow change, like so:

* WAITING Find out how to sometimes add a note when I change to WAITING
   - Note taken on [2014-09-11 Thu 11:36] \\
     Asked on mailing list
   - State "WAITING"    from "WAITING"    [2014-09-11 Thu 11:30]
   - State "WAITING"    from "TODO"       [2014-09-11 Thu 11:25]

Thanks,

Bill
