Description
Issue type
Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)
Description with steps to reproduce
With NVDA running go to the format menu and open the style dialogue box. Select the Lyric grouping from the
categories list. Tab to the lyric Text grouping area and as you arrow on to the Lyric Offset spin buttons you hear "lyric spin button", this is the same for each making it impossible to tell the difference between the two or know what they are. They should announce something like "lyric offset below spin button editable", "lyric offset above spin button editable".
