The Multi-line text and Music gives more scope, but for simple things
Textual Annotation is good.

What is a good thing, though, is to think about whether this is a
one-off item or, like cresc. something you will want to use repeatedly.
If you will use it several times in the one score then make a snippet
of the first one and insert it using Ctrl-Space
if it is something you will use in many scores, make a palette button
cloning it (using the object editor). Then you will be able to insert it
with p, label, Enter
In both cases you avoid having slightly different appearance (e.g. cresc
with a dot or without, or in a bolder face or whatever...)

I've cc'd the list with this, as I think many will want to learn from
this.
