Object Properties grayed out on elements in Content panel, unable to edit tags or content

New Here ,

I'm updating my class pdfs to comply with my university's accessibility policy. Most of the pdfs are sheet music.

When I run an accessibility check I get a lot of errors under "Tagged Content." The elements are always little bits of musical notation that Acrobat flags as text or paths. 

I can access the elements in the Content panel but not the Tags panel. If I ctrl-click to edit properties everything is grayed out except for under the Color Tab. 

Any thoughts why I'm unable to edit properties? 

I've been able to pass the accessibility check by selecting all the elements and labeling them as artifacts, so I guess I don't really need to be able to access the Object Properties fields. But it's driving me crazy! 

Appreciate any suggestions.
