When reading piano scores, there are several cases notes are crossed to other staves. NVDA should announce crossed to staff 1, or crossed to staff 3 (if there's a 3-staff passage). When I entered my Jasmine Flower, I missed 4 notes which should be crossed to right hand. Not all blind people have a braille display, so I hope we don't rely on braille only. This announcement should be done.

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.
