Description

Your idea

Currently when using arrow keys to move up/down staves/parts in the Braille panel it is hard to know which one you are on. This could become particularly confusing with scores with more than a couple of instrument parts.
This could be fixed by adding screen reader announcements of part/instrument names as you move up and down just as in the score.
But also for those who may use Braille only and turn off screen reading could there be an instrument/part name added in Braille abbreviation at the start of each Braille line.

Problem to be solved

This would remove confusion for blind users as to which part/instrument of Braille they are viewing at any given time.
