Why annotate sheet music?
Annotations help musicians personalize their scores with notes, reminders, fingerings, dynamics, rehearsal marks and other performance instructions.
Instead of writing directly on paper copies, many musicians now prefer digital annotations on PDF sheet music using tablets and smartphones.
