Dear All
Thanks for all your comments about accessible music software, it seems
like I need to give Sonar and Sibelius a try.
I'll give QWS a go too, but does anyone know of any other accessible
programs that allow you to edit MIDI easily?

You might also contact the music department at Hereford
(http://www.rncb.ac.uk/), I observed a blind student there using
SoundForge with JAWS very effectively. They might know what could be
used for MIDI sequencing.

These links may be of use:
James Bowden from Dolphin Computer Access wrote a freeware
(accessible)
Midi sequencing application called QWS, this can be found on his
website
at:
Quick Windows Sequencer (free)

Other third party solutions:

"Cake Talking" - I believe this is a third party speech add-on for
Sonar

the
one you were talking about Felicity?)

Subject: Cubase
Hi All,
I wonder if anyone can offer some advice on the accessibility of
Cubase.
We have a student starting here in September who will be expected to
use
the music sequencing program as part of their music degree course and
I'm interested if anyone out there uses it with a screen reader. I'm
familiar with Cubase and Nuendo so will be really interested in
testing
it out with various screenreaders but would love to hear from someone
with direct experience.
Kind regards
John
