Chris,

I'd also like a way to see how many pages there are and where the page 
breaks occur.

There is a way to find out some of this information, already.

Alt-F, then I for Info. This brings up the dialog where you can add
title, 
comments. to the file. Just Shift-Tab to get to the page tabs, and move
to 
the next page

This page needs to be navigated with the JAWS cursor, so turn off Num
Lock 
or use the Ctrl-JJ  to activate. It  will give you the number of staves
and 
the number of pages. I use this a lot when I'm trying to squeeze some
music 
down to just two pages, for example. Lots of trial-and-error, so
henceforth 
my wishlist item of knowing where the page breaks occur.

As for the time and key signatures, I'm sure you already know how to use
the 
triple-F5 key to get that.

Dave
