Hi,
Is it possible that the scaling on the MIDI dynamics is off somehow?
I found a few mentions of this in the archives but no specific
discussions of this particular issue.
I noticed today after not using MIDI output from LilyPond for several
versions (and months) that the differences in the volume between
dynamics don't seem as noticeable as I remembered them from earlier
versions.
As a test, I rendered a MIDI file of this lily code:
{c8\ppp d\pp e\p f\mp g\mf a\f b\ff c\fff}
and opened it in Digital Performer and looked at the events list.
The velocities in the events list are:
53 - 62 - 69 - 77 - 85 - 94 - 100 - 107
I would have expected them to be more like
16 - 32 - 48 - 64 - 80 - 96 - 112 - 128
Am I misunderstanding something?
Thanks for any hints.
Best,
Sean
