Description

Issue type

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

Description with steps to reproduce

Most other commonly used articulations, ornaments, bow markings, etc are now being shown in Braille. The harmonic is not.

STEPS:

  1. Add a note to a score and then from the Articulation palette select harmonic.
  2. Tab to the Braille panel and note that there is no sign added to the note to show it is a harmonic. This should be Brailled as dots 13 after the note and then the associated finger number (usually finger 3 or 4 for example in violin music).
