Rules question - notes

Although I've played online extensively, I haven't yet played in many tournaments so I'm not very familiar with rules and etiquette. One thing you gotta do OTB is count pips occasionally. My question is - would it be either against the rules (ABT) or a faux pas to do a little scribbling on the back of the scoresheet as you do this? I'm not talking about making a long list of numbers to add up, or taking a long time to do it. I'm talking about scribbling maybe a few numbers, for example your half-crossover count and your opponents - something like that.

BTW, in chess, where I have escaped from, this is forbidden by the rules. Players are not allowed to write things except for keeping score.
