Good day. I have a client who is moving to the mac and getting a job as a music therapist. Is there any accessible software that would allow someone to write a score and then print it as a musical chart? Thanks.

Hi, MuseScore is ok accessible app with VoiceOver. It is not totally accessible, but there can write notes etc.

On my mac, I own Sibelius perpetual. If I want to download Sibelius on the ipad, will I be forced in paying for a subcription, despite owning Sibelius perpetual on my mac?

So for context, I own sebelius perpetual. My update and support plan have expired, however given its perpetual, no big deal. Except... I downloaded Sibelius for ios, log in to my account and, surprise! To use sebelius ultimate, which; I own, perpetualy, mind you; I have to have a subscription or renew my support plan, however this is ridiculous since, again, my product is perpetual. I cant say i'm surprised, given avid's shady practices but still.

The Muse Score developers are very atuned to accessibility. One of the developers had a blind student and I worked with him to make Muse Score more accessible with JAWS on Windows.

Although the program is already very accessible, Muse Score 4 is expected to come out early next year and it will be a big rewrite under the hood to improve accessibility and features even more.

How accessible is muse score on mac? I tried it a few months ago and couldn't make heads or tails out of it.
