Thanks for all your suggestions. :-) I’m actually part of the Sound without Sight group. I attended the demo on using MuseScore last year and it was a great presentation! The person that demonstrated it used NVDA on Windows. Thanks for the link to it. Herbie, I will download and install MuseScore on my Mac this weekend to see how accessible it is. The software is free anyway, so I might as well try it out. 😉 Katie Sent from my iPhone
