Sure! The reason why I didn't spent more time on these glitches is not
because it was less fun, but seeing them at other programs created with Qt,
I assumed there were Qt bugs and I thought you would preffer I concentrate
more on MuseScore. :) But in the end, as you said, any improvement to Qt is
a direct improvement to MuseScore, so I will put more time into this.

Thank you for these informations!
I see that both Jaws and Window-eyes have trial periods for their
screen-readers so I will try and see how they behave. As for MacOS, I
thought about creating a virtual machine, but I heard is not an easy thing
to do, although I've never tried.
