I am not sure if Muse Score versions 3.X are accessible on Mac. They might be, but I think that might be a problem.

The newly released version 4 of MuseScore has a lot of code that was rewritten under the hood to address accessibility concerns and make MuseScore on the Mac much more accessible (in addition to a lot of other new features). Unfortunately, I have heard from several people testing MuseScore 4 on Windows that many of the accessibility problelms have not been ironed out yet for people using a screen reder. I believe the developers do have accessibility in mind, but, as with many new programs, there might still be a lot of kinks to be worked out.

Anyway, it is worth giving it a shot and providing feedback to the developers about any accessibility issues you might run into. At least that way some of the problems have a shot at being fixed. I'm guessing that you'll also need some patience to see problems with the early version 4 releases being fixed though.

Good luck.
