Sounds good.

It never hurts to continue to go back to square one, building simple 
"Hello world" programs to see how things are capable of working in the 
best case, then trying to figure out how and why MuseScore differs.

I know it's no fun working these details out, but as you've observed 
before, anything you can discover and then document or file as a bug 
against Qt serves the community at large - by which I mean, not just 
MuseScore.

Feel free to do that if it's convenient, but I wouldn't divert a ton of 
energy to this if not.  I'm happy to do that building and testing.  
Realistically, most blind musicians will be on Windows, with a much 
smaller number on Mac, and very few on Linux.  Also, on Windows, while 
NVDA is the main free option, it will be worth our time to test on JAWS 
where possible.  That's far and away the most popular screen reader for 
Windows.  Here's a pretty fascinating read:

Window-Eyes is a distant second, NVDA an even more distant third. Note 
that even though there is essentially only one screenreader used on 
MacOS, it still didn't crack the top three.

Most blind users will already have made their choice of screen reader 
software and will have no intention of switching on account of 
MuseScore.  No more than they would be likely to change OS's. Still, I 
feel we should continue to target NVDA first because it's the main open 
source solution and the easiest for us to test ourselves.  We can always 
"out source" the testing on JAWS and Window-Eyes.
