I use different marker pens:

• A small green marker to highlight a melody line in complex chord sequences (on piano), especially when the melody line is not the top notes.
  
• A broad yellow marker to mark where I can turn the page, while in 2-page landscape mode. This way I can turn a page while I am playing the other page at an suitable place instead of waiting until the end of the page.
  
• a red or blue marker to mark left en right pages that belong together, so I can see whether I have turned (the other) page already in 2-page mode.
  
• a pink and orange marker to indicate rubato (pink=slower, orange=faster). Also a pink marker to indicate temporal accents (i.e. slightly delay a note)
  

Currently, I need to adjust the width and color of the marker every time. I would like to be able to define presets for markers.

Thinking about it, I would also like presets for other annotation tools, for example:

• Preset widths and colors for pens
  
• Preset size and colors for stamps
  
• Preset size, colors, style and texts for the text tool, for example sharp/flat/neutral in blue, fingering (1,2,3,4,5) in red
  
• Save paste buffer into presets, so that I can paste different annotations that I have copied before
  

And thinking about it a little more, the floating (round) annotation tool (which looks beautiful, but I never use it) could be replaced by (or expented with) tool presets.

So in general, I propose to add presets to the annotation tools.

Luckily you're going to be glad to find the basics that you've been waiting for. All the annotation info is covered in the instruction manual in pages 113-136. Start by reading about FAVORITES and COMMAND BAR. I keep the user manual downloaded in one of my computer folders (where I can find ctrl+f), as well as loaded into MobileSheets as a song, haha.

Unfortunately, the COMMAND BAR often covers up the music because it takes up yet a third row onto the page. It's a real bummer that it's not a single long row directly below the main long annotation row. Like many things in MobileSheets, it's not as streamlined as it could be.

Wow, thanks!
This opens up a whole set of features I wasn't aware of.

Wow! I hadn't discovered this, and it's going to make annotating quicker and easier from now on! I now have a command bar preset with all my most frequent annotation tools
