“New score” window has many fields, most of them are inaccessible with Tab ↹ key. When Tab ↹ key is pressed focus moves through Key signature area → Title field → Cancel button → Key signature area. Next item after any input field is Cancel button — these routes are drawn as thin red arrows on attached scheme.

Scheme

Order of fields should be changed, some (not all) proposed ways are drawn as thick green arrows.

I find that this screen does in fact tab as per the diagram. You can use the up/down arrow keys to get to the other fields, in addition to tab, but that doesn't seem as intuitive to me.
