Dave, It makes no difference if an item is above or below the staff. To put it another way, the vertical position is not a factor in determining the announcement order. It's the horizontal position which makes the difference. To be exact, items which have the same rhythmic position as the selected note are spoken before it and the other nearby items are spoken after it.

What else can it be? The greater question, whether there is a facility in sib-access to jump from one chord to the next without the intervening notes, is still open to the experts to elucidate.

Claudio -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Gibbs Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 9:10 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Follow-up to chord symbol request I found the chord symbols. The guy who prepared the score wrote them below the treble clef staff of a piano part instead of above the bass clef of the same. The net effect is to put the chord symbols between staves but not where I expected them. That said, I still have a problem. If I go to bar 2 of the score in the right hand staff and shift tab, I go to the last chord symbol in bar 1 of the part, not the first chord symbol of bar 2 of the part. And, I can only read the chords in bar 1 before being put back on the bar rest in bar 2. I still need a recipe for putting myself on the first chord of a bar and, from there, being able to continue through all the chords of the part. Still don't know how to do that.
