Description
- [ ] Make LMMS work better with screen reader
- [ ] Issues with Microsoft Active Accessibility + LMMS 1.2(should be checked again against 1.3 alphas)
### Details for issues
Quoting **`@pvlcek#4108`** on Discord:
> Dear, can I contact developers of Lmms here? If so, is someone interested in making LMMS accessible for screen reader users? Qt has some a11y (accessibility) implementations and it will be great, if these a11y standards will be implemented. I am not programmer, so I can not help.
Quoting #4134 and https://github.com/Snipaste/feedback/issues/796#issuecomment-359872876:
> When the system DPI is larger than 100%, the beta version of LMMS works without any problem with UI Automation, but has issues with MSAA (Microsoft Active Accessibility).
