When navigating to an hidden object, note, rest, dynamic, text etc, Musescore should give NVDA a message saying "hidden", so that we know if we have hidden something, or is there anything hidden by other engravers.

Pull request to fix this: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/12340
Fixed in branch master, commit 52be682ea2
_Accessibility: Improve speech output for notes and common elements
Screen readers will now announce:
[Fix #312625] Notehead group type (e.g. "cross", "triangle", etc.).
[Fix #312628] When notes or rests use cross-staff notation.
[Fix #312627] When elements are invisible.
[Fix #307442] Tuplet length for custom tuplets (more than 9 notes).
Also speeds up speech output by stripping some punctuation from element
names to prevent unnecessary pauses._
This will be fixed in MuseScore 4 which is being developed.
