Description
Issue type
Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)
Description with steps to reproduce
If a part has lyrics, these are not included in the braille export or Live Braille View panel.
Steps:
- Enter some music with some lyrics.
e.g. a soprano part with a few bars with lyrics. - Export to braille.
Expected output would include alternating lines of lyrics and music.
Actual output only has the music.
- From the score Tab to the Braille panel. you see the single bar of music. Press a down arrow and notice instead of moving down to the lyrics for that bar instead you move down to the next staff. There are other issues open to request additional info such as lyrics being added to the Live Braille Panel so I am mentioning it here just to note it is not currently available in the output at all.
