Description

Issue type

Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)

Description with steps to reproduce

Full bar & part bar repeat signs are not used in either the output of the Live Braille panel or when using the export to Braille feature.

Look at any score with two identical bars. In Braille the second bar should be shown as dots 2356 with a space either side. This is a shorthand used as a space saver for any bar that repeats in Braille music.

Create a bar with the same elements on beats 2 3 & 4 as on beat 1. In Braille the first beat will be Brailled as usual and then dots 2356 entered for beats 2, 3 & 4 without any spaces.
