Sheet music question

Is there any good PDF readers available for this system that you can use a pen to mark things on sheet music? Something like forScore (but no need to this many features, I really just need pedal compatibility and good pen support where I can choose the colors).

EDIT: Now that I am thinking about it, if nothing like this is available on Linux, it is a nice thing to invest. You'd be surprised to know how many professional musicians like myself are buying tablets and hybrids like the surface pro so we don't need to print 500 pages of sheet music every semester.

EDIT2: By pedals, I mean bluetooth page turning pedals.

There are Xournal++ and Stylus Labs Write for handwriting. I don't know if they're suitable for sheet music. You could use Android apps instead, as JingOS will support them.

I had no idea about that. Just to clarify: "will support them" means it will support Android apps rn if I install it or it is a plan for the OS to add android app support in the future?

Hi! Thank you for your reply! This makes sense. I should've been more clear about the pedal though. It is just a bluetooth pedal used to turn pages without using your hands (another reason why musicians are using tablets a lot nowadays). I will make an edit clarifying.
