Dave,

The staff doesn't switch at all. I stay on the same staff, and the same bar, 
and the same note. I have to switch using the jaws cursor and the left click 
button, which is sometimes impossible. For example, when the playback window is 
open. Any other solutions that come to mind?

Yes, it is difficult. However, try to do this. Route jaws to PC, then
press page up, and down arrow until you get to a list of tabs (note
that Jaws reports most things below that line as tabs, for example
the headers for the list of available devices. Remember to
focus just on the first line that Jaws announces as "tab"). You should
see a tab called Manual sound sets. Sometimes this works, and sometimes
it doesn't, so try again and again: press home, and ctrl+right to focus
on the manual sound sets, then left click. That should bring up a list
of your sound sets that you can choose. Activate the PC cursor and tab around, 
you will find it.


Take care!
