Hi everyone,
Is it possible to insert comments in the (custom-set-variables...)
block? Every time I customise a new variable and save it, all my old
comments disappear. I have tried commenting like this,
;; comments
'(some-var value)
'(some-var value) ; comments
Neither of them survive after customising a new variable. Any thoughts?

Put the comment outside of the custom-set-variables form.
(custom-set-variables
...
'(some-var value)
...)
;; ...
;; some-var: comment
;; ...
