Hi everyone,
I've used white forms to whiten parts of the score. Now want to write on top of the white rectangles I've used but whatever I write always ends up behind the form and not on top of it. I have writing and the forms in different layers so I'm wondering if there is a way to move individual layers into the foreground/background.
Any help?

At the moment, MobileSheets just draws annotations in the order shown in the layer popup. It will draw each layer in order and each annotation in the order they appear under that layer. So you just need to make sure the annotations you want to place on top of those white rectangles are lower in the layer and in a layer that is drawn after the rectangle. You can move annotations up or down in the layer with the up/down arrows. When time allows, I'm going to spend more time trying to improve the layers popup to make it easier to manage the annotations and layers, and allow annotations to be moved between layers.

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to add support for reordering layers (that's on my list of things to do). What you'll have to do is select all the annotations in one layer, tap the copy button in the edit bar, switch to a new layer, paste them (use the "Paste to original location" option), then delete the original layer.
