No file at hand? (Clementi, Sonatina op. 36 no. 1).
Open a MusicXML file and it is laid out on pages of the paper you choose, as it will print. Click the score to write a comment there, or switch to symbols and click to place a dynamic, a fermata, a breath mark, a bowing or an arrow. Each comment and symbol is tied to the note nearest to where you clicked, so it stays with that note when the score is laid out again, on other paper or another screen. Click one to change or delete it.
Annotations go into layers, like sheets of tracing paper over the score: one for your teacher's notes, one for your own. Show or hide each layer, and save it as a small file to load again with the score later, or to send to someone who has the same score.
It runs on the annotations of OSMD Extended, our own build of OpenSheetMusicDisplay (OSMD), the MusicXML renderer we maintain. The symbols are drawn in Gonville, a music font by Simon Tatham.
No. The score is drawn, annotated and printed in your browser, and neither the file nor your annotations leave your computer.
No. They are kept apart from it, in the annotations file you save: one XML file per layer. Your MusicXML stays as it was.
Save annotations downloads the layer you have selected. Next time, open the same score and load that file with Load annotations. The page keeps nothing itself, so save before you close it; it asks before it drops unsaved annotations.
They are placed by the timing of the notes they belong to, so on another score they land wherever those beats are, or not at all. Load them with the score they were made on.
The music font goes into the PDF with the symbols, so they print as sharp as the notes. Arrows, the circle and text in scripts the PDF fonts don't have, such as Chinese, need other fonts. A score with them goes into the PDF as images, drawn by your browser: they print sharply, but the text is not selectable.
