[Perform-Talk] Any Musescore Experts

[Ella Yu]

Hi Elizabeth, I highly recommend getting on the MuseScore Accessibility
email group at groups.io/g/musescoreaccessibility and posting this question
there. You do need to remember that when it comes to note values 1 = 64th,
2 = 32nd, 3 = 16th, 4 = 8th, 5 = quarter, 6 = half, 7 = whole, if I'm
remembering it correctly, so the bigger note values actually correspond to
a higher number on the keyboard. As for the note input panel in braille,
the braille panel is not as user-friendly as it can be, though this is
likely to improve in the future. You need to press space+f to enter values
8th or larger and space+J for 16ths and smaller in braille. I might have a
few of these shortcuts wrong so if they don't work I'll find the correct
ones, but yes, definitely get on the MuseScore accessibility group.
