Add Annotation

Add annotation text. It will be anchored to previously added symbol (note, rest).

Add Dynamics Annotations​

builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "fff");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "ff");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "f");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "mf");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "m");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "mp");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "p");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "pp");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "ppp");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "cresc.");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "decresc.");
builder.addAnnotation("dynamics", "dim.");

Add Tempo Annotations​

builder.addAnnotation("tempo", "accel.");
builder.addAnnotation("tempo", "rit.");
builder.addAnnotation("tempo", "a tempo");

Add Articulation Annotations (Since v6.3.0)​

builder.addAnnotation("articulation", "fermata");
builder.addAnnotation("articulation", "measureEndFermata"); // Anchored to measures right bar line.

Auto Detect Annotation Type​

builder.addAnnotation("ff");      // Detects "dynamics"
builder.addAnnotation("accel.");  // Detects "tempo"
builder.addAnnotation("fermata"); // Detects "articulation"
💡
List of known annotation types is currently very simple.
💡
You can as well use Score.Annotation, Score.DynamicsAnnotation, Score.TempoAnnotation and Score.ArticulationAnnotation enum values.
