No Doubling in Braille panel #27829

Description

@jmwmusic

Issue type

Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)

Description with steps to reproduce

Braile rules for doubling of signs are not being followed in the output on the Braille panel.
Where more than 3 notes in a row (regardless of any rests between) have the same articulation mark the articulation mark should be written twice before the first note and once before the last note of the group.

On the attached file:

  1. In bar one in the Braille panel you see dots 236 for a staccato dot written before every note. Because there are 4 staccato in a row this 236 should appear twice before the first note and once before the last note on beat 4.
  2. Similarly in bar 2 for the marcato the marcato sign dots 56, 236, should be twice before the note in beat 1 and once before the last one in beat 4.
  3. In bar 3 the same for the tenuto, dots 456, 236.
  4. In bar 4 same for the accent mark dots 46, 236.
  5. Note the long slur bracket has been used in bars 6-7 instead of the doubling method. Braille can use either method and so this is a nicer way to mark a long slur/phrase and so should not be altered unless some sort of preference was introduced.
