This thread is becoming very interesting to me. I have been trying to find a way to use the band in a box program to access its preset styles and cord grid. My question about new score to all you score users is: is there a way to simply enter a cord symbol in a measure or do I need to enter the individual notes in the cord? OK that’s one question, the next question, Can I export a simple Music.xml file representation of my score? Because, if they can get a Music.xml that can be imported into band in a box bypassing all of its inaccessible cord entry windows and just play what I entered into new score in band in a box And pick a style there. Any information would greatly appreciated I’m not a composer, but I want to use new score to create some kind of backing tracks for my jazz studies in Guitar.Sent from my IPhone
Hi. Sending another link which has updated info about accessibility of Musescore 4. The one that was sent already is old info.

Thanks Janina. I’ll check out that link. :-) Katie Sent from my iPhone On Oct 3, 2025, at 11:55 PM, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]> wrote:
The program is free, so Phil's suggestion is correct.
Also, a lot of work has gone into making muse accessible, though it
seems support for Voice Over is minimal. Here's the Muse accessibility

Is this a paid program or free? If it???s free you could always download it and take it for a test run yourself. Another idea is to contact the developers and ask them if they have any experience with Accessibility and if they kept that in mind when developing this program on the Mac? I recently did just this with the band in a box program for Mac. I downloaded and installed it only to find out it was horribly inaccessible and I contacted Pg Music the creators of the software and got my money back.

???Hi everyone.
I didn???t get an answer about my question for using MuseScore last week, so I thought I would email the list again. I was wondering if MuseScore is accessible on the Mac? If you don???t know what it is, it???s a music notation program for writing music, similar to Sibelius or Finale. I may be working with a blind college student who needs to learn it. He uses a Mac with Voiceover. I am proficient using this program on windows with NVDA, but have not used it on the Mac before. How accessible is MuseScore with Voiceover?
By the way, I found a YouTube video and it gave me the correct website to install it.

Also no discussion on Audacity here?
Has anyone tried?
How much if at all is it accessible?

Hi everyone.
I was following Phil???s discussion about using Band In a Box on the Mac. I haven???t used this program, but was wondering if another music software program is accessible.
I have used MuseScore on Windows with NVDA for about four years and it works great! It???s been very accessible for me to use. I was just curious if anyone has used MuseScore on the Mac before and how accessible it is with VoiceOver? I may be working with a blind college student that needs to learn how to use MuseScore. He has a Mac with Voiceover. I???ve used this program on windows, but not the Mac.
Let me know how accessible it is. What website do I go to to download the software?
Thanks.
