Research direction
Investigate the implementation of the 'next element' and 'previous element' actions in MuseScore's UI. The gradual tempo changes (rit., accel.) are likely missing from the list of accessible elements. Check the files responsible for keyboard navigation, such as those in the 'src/notation' or 'src/accessibility' directories. Ensure that tempo change items are added to the accessible element tree for navigation.
