It may be early days yet, but the emergence of Unicode Musical Symbols
could prove a potential benefit to screen reader users.
http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf
Now that screen readers have become Unicode aware, it is possible to
add these to the screen reader in such a way that they can be spoken.
So instead of hearing "Graphic #" it would say "Musical Symbol Coda"
or "Musical Symbol C Clef" for example.
If nothing else, it could make documentation a great deal more
understandable.
George.

It's not off topic. Music fonts are a crucial part of music type
setting.
Chord symbols, figured bass, roman numerals and metronome marks are
just
a few of the things which depend on fonts. This is why JAWS will often
seem to be speaking nonsense when you read some pieces of text in
Sibelius. It's because JAWS is reading the ASCII character and not a
description of the glyph in the font.
Even more importantly, Sibelius uses fonts to draw the notes in the
score.
So, if the fonts are not installed, there is no way that Sibelius will
work properly.

Ramy,
This list is primarily about the Sibelius Access scripts, as its name
implies. To locate fonts, which is quite off-topic, try a search
engine
and type opus font, in quotation marks.
