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?

They might know what could be used for MIDI sequencing. Mary -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff.

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.
