Hi Mike,
Thank you for your fast response!
1. OK, I experimented a little more and now I understand: I had not yet choosen a secondary tool at all. In that case it defaults to the selection tool (which cannot be chosen afterwards) and stays there if I select anything with it. So if it should work as you described, it should not do anything (= stay in the same tool, not change to selection) until a secondary tool is selected, should it?
2. OK, I'll describe my current useage case a little more in detail: I'm rehearsing a piece in a band, that I rehearsed in another band before. So I added a new layer to all pages and use this one (layer 2) mostly these days. Of course I use layer 2 now as the only visible one (I made a mark on each page in the layers to make sure I have the right one while I'm playing from it, too). Now I take my stylus and make a note and ... it's gone as soon as I release the stylus.
The annotations are made on layer 1 (which is invisible) by default... well I know this now, so I'm not as confused anymore as I was when it happened the first time, I bring up the layers window, change the active layer and go on, but these seem unnecessary steps for me: There is only the second layer visible, so it seems natural that additional annotations should go to this layer, doesn't it?
