Best way to quickly mark/tag score for review
#1
Lightbulb 
Just wondering what the best way to handle this situation is:
- I'm in rehearsal playing a piece, and we get to a section I can't play well
- I highlight or circle the section so I know it's problematic - I use pen, highlighter or red text for this
- I want to somehow tag or mark this score as "needs work" or whatever, preferably right from the score view when I think of it
- we quickly move on to the next piece and I don't have much time to fiddle with it at this point so it needs to be a pretty quick way to mark it

Google AI suggested creating a set list called "Review" or whatever and adding songs to it as I go. That would be fine, when I go back to the setlist we're rehearsing I can long-press the song, press ..., Add to setlist, and add it to my "Review" setlist. Or I could do the same with a Collection. (Is one better than the other?)

The other option seems to be from the score view I can click the Edit song button and add a word like "Review" in the keywords. Then later I can just filter my set list or collection by that word. 

Either of these options is fine, the latter being better because there is a chance after I go back to my setlist that I either get distracted or have to rush to open the next song and I don't remember or have time to add/edit the song, so ideally I want to do it while still in the score view, and editing the keywords does the trick  

I may be missing something obvious, is there a better way than adding a keyword like "review" or "xxx" and filtering by that keyword?

Thanks for any suggestions you may have!  Rolleyes

Other things I tried:
- adding "Review" in the notes of the song - doesn't work because there doesn't seem to be a way to filter by anything in the notes. A feature request would be that the filter for "All fields" include the notes as well, and that there be an option to Search the Notes field specifically if you want to
- using the text tool to type "Review" directly in the score - same issue, the filter/search doesn't include text from annotations. Might be useful if it did? This would be ideal because I could kill 2 birds with stone, I could annotate and add "Review" in red directly in the spot I need to review
- using ratings e.g. rating a song I need to review as one star - doesn't work because there's no way to filter or search by rating that I can find

Like you, at rehearsals I add annotations to my scores using the pen, text or highlighter. Because time is short, we move on through the list. Later, at home, I go back through the setlist we rehearsed and any songs that need more work I add to another setlist, the equivalent of your 'Need work', leaving me with a short setlist to update and those updated songs will, obviously, update the songs in the band's main setlist.
