When reading piano scores, there are several cases notes are crossed to other staves. NVDA should announce crossed to staff 1, or crossed to staff 3 (if there's a 3-staff passage). When I entered my Jasmine Flower, I missed 4 notes which should be crossed to right hand. Not all blind people have a braille display, so I hope we don't rely on braille only. This announcement should be done.

_Accessibility: Improve speech output for notes and common elements

Screen readers will now announce:

  • [Fix #312625] Notehead group type (e.g. "cross", "triangle", etc.).

  • [Fix #312628] When notes or rests use cross-staff notation.

  • [Fix #312627] When elements are invisible.

  • [Fix #307442] Tuplet length for custom tuplets (more than 9 notes).

Also speeds up speech output by stripping some punctuation from element
names to prevent unnecessary pauses._
