The ideas window is not scripted at this time. I will be looking at this in
a future release but can make no promises as to when support for this
feature will be made available.

Jeanine ,
Very likely not scripted. Depending on how much it depends on graphics to be
usable, it may not be accessible. Do you have enouhg sight to know how its
set up?
I'll see if I can give it a try myself, but never thought to use it before
now. It does sound like a nice feature to explore.

Subject: [sib-access] Ideas window appears to be inaccessible.
Hello, all. In the past week, I downloaded and installed Sibelius 5.2.5 and
Sibelius Access. In my beginning exploration of Sibelius, I found that the
ideas window appears to be inaccessible. In fact, Sibelius Access seems to
skip over the ideas window entirely even when it is open. I was disappointed
in this because I was hoping to audition the built-in ideas to satisfy my
curiosity and to consider them in future compositions, which leads to an
obvious question, especially for Dan Rugman: Do you have any plans to make
the ideas feature of Sibelius 5.2.5 fully accessible in the future? I feel
that this would be a very useful feature to have full access to at times
when a composer has a fragment of music in his or her head that needs to be
captured so that it is not lost. Note that, as the ideas feature currently
is, even if I am able to capture an idea from a composition for later use,
it appears that I won't be able to play it without sighted assistance, let
alone, possibly,
edit it, copy it and paste it into a score. In other words, I wonder if
there is a way to script the ideas feature so that a blind composer can use
and work with it in the same way they would work with a score, for example,
by moving through the list of ideas using the up and down arrow keys,
pressing the space bar to play each one as it is selected and using
control+c and control+v to copy and paste into a score. The same playback,
note input and editing functions should be available via keyboard as they
are when working with entire scores. I would like to know if any or all of
this is possible. I don't know how to write JAWS scripts, but I would be
happy to offer input based simply on my experience as a blind computer user.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
