Please guide me how should i start and the bug list to start with ?

Hello, and thanks for your interest! A few questions for you first:
Are you a musician? Do you read music? Have you used MuseScore
before? I wouldn't say these are prerequisites, but it's definitely a
lot easier to design features for a program if you understand what it
does :-). Still, there are some aspects of the accessibility project in
particular that don't require any knowledge of music - more about
knowing or being willing to learn enough the Qt and the accessibility
API's to make sure that user interface elements can work without use of
mouse or monitor (eg, everything done by keyboard, with screenreader
reading text).
As for getting started on bugs, see the Issue Tracker section on
musescore.org to see current bugs, also the forums there. And the
Development section there for links to where to download the source, how
to compile it, etc. But I think your first priority should be getting
to know the software itself first - understanding what it does, and what
your proposal would entail.
