Tom, unfortunately Sibelius is not at all VO compatible. I just
loaded up the current version which is 5 point something under Leopard
and virtually nothing except the apple-standard menu bar and part of
the toolbar was accessible. I don't use VO myself so the zooming it
allows and the new visual interface in 5.0+ is enough help for me, but
they could certainly do better with the accessibility part.
I'll be writing to sibelius to request they put some effort into
making Sibelius VO accessible and pointing out that there's currently
no notation-based composition programs that are VO accessible so
they'd have the market cornered if they did it - I suggest you do the
same, and everybody else who cares about it!

Ricky
