Bug reports and suggestions for improving accessibility

• May 31, 2024 - 13:33

Hi everyone!
I'd like to report a few bugs and make some suggestions to improve accessibility.
Please tell me where this can be done?
Perhaps there is a link to a special form for reporting this?

  • NVDA screen reader is used.
  1. Creating a score in the new score window.
  2. Adding an instrument to a new score.
  3. Editing notes.
  4. Opening the master palette with the key combination Shift + F9
  5. Selecting one of the following categories with a problem:

* Beam properties.
6. Some signs from these categories have problems with their names. Instead of the name of the sign we hear: "Akcion icon".

To be clear:
a) This Support forum on musescore.org allows users to validate whether their apparent fault is a real bug. But in general these forums are read only by fellow-users, not by developers.
b) If there is a genuine bug, the only way to get the attention of the MuseScore developers is then to raise a new Issue on Github (you need a free Github account before you can post there):
