What does the 'Prefix Lap Titles with Take' setting do in the Stopwatch?

When Prefix Lap Titles with Take is enabled, Stopwatch lap notes are labeled using the current scene and take number instead of a generic lap counter.

Enabled: Lap notes are prefixed in ss.tt notation — for example, 3.2 for Scene 3, Take 2.
Disabled: Lap notes are labeled with the default LAP x notation — for example, LAP 1, LAP 2.

This setting is useful on set when you want lap markers to correspond directly to your scene/take slate rather than an abstract lap count.
