Hello!
My name is Alexander and I'm a completely blind composer and musicologist.
First of all, I'ld like to say great thanks for accessibility feature in 
muse score software. It is really good news for all blind musicians.
But there are some accessibility features, that need to be improved in 
the the future.
All of them consern the editing and creating new score.
1. Now it is not possible to select a key signiture when you create a 
new score - the selection field can not be read by NVDA screenreader.
2. Also if you add a new instrument to score it is placed at the bottom 
of the score, not at the traditional position (e.g. if I add the harp to 
the orchestra, it is placed below the strings, not above them, so we 
have to move newly added stave manually).
3. If I add a dynamics or any other markings to the notes, NVDA have 
troubles and finally I have to press escape key, and after that I should 
choose a stave and section I need to edit again. It is very inconvinient 
when you create a large score.
4. And one more - staves are named by their numbers in score, not by 
instrument names. It is not a good idea if we speak about huge score for 
a large orchestra. If I move from stave to stave with the alt key and 
vertical arrows, only stave numbers, not instrument names are spoken.
I'm not a programmer unfortunately, but I'm a blind musician and user of 
NVDA screenreader, so I can help with testing and developing 
accessibility functions in muse score if you would like me to.
Thanks again for your product and it's accessibility features.
Best regards, Alexander.
