<DIV>Thanks for the response. When you say it is not accessible, is that
if we are relying on speech output? He will not be relying on
speech. He has some vision and will be magnifying the music to about 2-3
measures per screen. I should have indicated this in my previous
message. Thank you for your time. </DIV>

ONLY Sibelius version 5 is made accessible, via scripts that a man in the UK has
written. Word is that script files for Sibelius 6 are on their way, but the time
table on the release of them has been adjusted numerous times. Sibelius 5 is
very nice and easy to use with the scripts. Note that Sibelius 7, the most
recent version of the scoring software, is NOT accessible. Also, per a
discussion on this list a couple months ago, one would have to run a Mac in the
Windows platform in order to use JAWS and the scripts. Voiceover will not
provide what you need.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

PhotoScore, I advise that you not expect much profitability. Score scanning
still has quite a long way to go, in my opinion, and the program is not
particularly speech-friendly.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
