Finale (and probably other scorewriter) let you create a text at a given page position. These texts are currently not imported in MuseScore. They could probably be implemented via a Frame Text (?). Find an example attached.

MuseScore doesn't offer an easy way to associate a text to a given page and a position on a page.
However, the first page, being the first one, is a little bit different. A Vertical frame inserted at the start can be used to position text on the first page. r5317 implements import and export of free text on the first page in the branch. For the export, it works if the text is associated with the first vertical frame, often the title frame (Right click -> Add -> Frame text). For import, a vertical frame is created if needed.

This issue needs more attention to make it work on page > 1. More work could be done to support text formatting as well.

Currently the text is imported as a text frame. Please reopen if this is not appropriate here.
