The order of the controls in the panel means that you hear three announcements for "slider control" before you hear anything about what those slider controls are for. It would be more helpful if the text describing the slider control appears before the slider control in terms of tab order. Grouping all the metronome controls together and then tempo controls and then master volume controls would make it easier to know what it is you are manipulating.

Thanks for the report. Of cours,e we don't actually support VoiceOver, but I understand you've found a workaround that allows you to get by, which is great. The user interface in MuseScore 4 is being largely redesigned and reimplemented, and we hope it will be accessible to VoiceOver without requiring workarounds. Also, I think the play panel will likely be going away, to be replaced by controls directly within the toolbar. So most likely, this issue will be moot for MuseScore 4. However, I will leave this open as a reminder to check this, and in case we do end up doing an 3.x release.
