Description
Your idea
It is great that MuseScore now reads out with a screen reader the displayed (print) measure number as well as the actual (status) measure. However, many people are finding this verbose and would love a way to toggle options with a shortcut key. Ideally a toggle would cycle between displayed measure, status measure, and both. This would allow screen reader users to choose what they need to hear for the task they are working on without having to wait to hear both if they only need one or the other.
Problem to be solved
Remove verbosity that slows down use by screen readers.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating the existing screen-reader handling for displayed and status measure numbers, then determine how a shortcut can cycle between displayed measure, status measure, and both. Done means screen-reader users can toggle these preferences without hearing unnecessary information.
