Hi Chi, Just so that we're on the same page figuratively and literally, if you start reading through a list of MIDI events at bar 1 and then press the asterisk on the numeric keypad and enter 100 and press return, if you stop interacting with any and all items in the MIDI Event List window and then re-interact with the event list itself, VoiceOver should now see a range from just before bar 100 and onward. Of course, there needs to be enough events to populate the range of up to bar 100 and beyond in order for the window itself to scroll to that point. I'll have another look soon.
