[MusicTlk] Accessibility of Music Editing Software

[Jordan Gallacher]

MuseScore 2 is accessible when used with NVDA.  I have not had time to learn
how to use it to arrange or compose music, but I have looked at and was able
to navigate everything when I opened a file I had saved from back when I had
Sibelius many years ago.  I knew how to use Sibelius in part thanks to a
music camp in 2005.

Subject: [MusicTlk] Accessibility of Music Editing Software

Hi Friends:

I have recently been asked to (at least temporarily) take over direction of
my church's music ministry. This means that, in addition to leading the
band/choir during services and rehearsals, I will be responsible for
selecting music, finding copies of it and getting the music to the other
musicians. I'm working on convincing the church to invest in a Midi
keyboard, which will give us much more flexibility in terms of arranging and
transposing music to fit our needs. We have a lot of people playing
different struments and having different vocal ranges, so sometimes we have
to adjust to what is best for our musicians. As I'm sure you know, a Midi
keyboard has to be connected to a computer with certain software for it to
do what I want it to do. At this point I'm most familiar with Finale and
Sebilius (I may be spelling that wrong), both of which have the features I'm
looking for. However, I don't know about the accessibility of either
program. I may decide at some point to get a personal copy of Goodfeel, but
at this point the sheet music I'm looking to produce is mostly for the
benefit of sighted musicians. Can anyone advise me on the accessibility of
either or both of these programs?

Thanks so much, 

Chris Nusbaum
