Description

Describe the bug
When using the screen reader Narrator, accidentals are read on notes, but not in key signatures or text.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start Narrator
  2. Create score in F# major
  3. Click key signature
  4. See error - Narrator reads "F major"
  5. Add chord symbol F#
  6. Navigate away and back to force Narrator to read it
  7. See error - Narrator reads "Chord Symbol F"

Expected behavior
Narrator should read accidentals.

Platform information

  • OS: Windows

Additional context
The issue is apparently a Narrator bug (?), but we should work around it as we do for notes.
