Just in case the link to the document was broken. So there is no need to reply specifically to this message.

The OVERLAY function is an investment in the future for me, as I am forgetful. Just write overlay("Magic macro start") at the beginning of a macro, or overlay("Abracadabra!", offset_y=100) if there is a Note in the middle of something. It is also useful to just write a normal command like overlay("Set Sel Box Tool"); bpy.ops.wm.tool_set_by_id(name="built-in.select_box"). Enjoy!
