text box?
am using 3.6.2
I see several alternatives for "frames" and/or adding text.
I want to add a text box of arbitrary size, and drag it anywhere on scores. It is simply
to keep notes about what I've done to the score. I can't rem when I come back
1 wk or 1 mo later.
What is best alternative?

The only problem that I see with this is that if your notes are very long, when you later delete them, the layout might change. Consider keeping your notes on a separate page.
See:
https://musescore.org/en/project/add-comments-score
which states (as the first use case):
"You ...want to remember what you did last time you worked on this score and what you need to do next."

To locate annotations/comments at specific places within the score:

JM6...thanks. seems very close to my need. I never thought about "plug-ins."

so I unzipped the plugin. it give me a separate folder with two files, a readme and a qml.
Given how the default plugins are stored (ie file structure), I assume I just put the qml in same "place" as
the other qml's are? This is on Win10.

1st, THX for the reply, BUT, I have read your suggestion (eariler and again), and it is NOT clear (to me) because it says "It is advised to keep/unzip each plugin into its own subfolder".
Since Musescore defaults to NOT do this. The above quote implies (to me) that Musescore is going to dig however deep through sequential folders until it finds a qml file??? I dont think so.

I don't know if it will dig through 100 levels deep, but it definitely checks each subfolder of the Plugins folder itself.

Why not try both ways? It will be almost as quick as writing this forum post.

I created a “plugin download” folder to store and unzip the downloads. On my Windows 10 unzipping creates its own named folder with the qml and the readme files. Then I simply copy the qml into the musescore plug-ins folder as described in the handbook link.

well..this was 1st plugin use/attempt by me. probably should do that.
and, err, "as described in the handbook link" is not the least bit clear IF two qml files were
used/needed/present. Nor does the README cover this.

I believe you are overthinking this, but sorry if I wasn't clear. This is how I usually install a plug in.
I recommend not having the Inspector open at first because though the annotations bar still appears it is tiny, at the bottom, and easily overlooked so that you think it doesn't work. Once the Annotations sidebar appears you can then open the Inspector and both will be displayed at a normal size, with the Annotations stacked below the Inspector.
I hope this helps - and if you've already figured it out then it may help someone else. :)
