I assumed you meant a single held note with an accent at the 
beginning and a quick diminuendo. That can't be done with key 
velocity, as you're varying the volume of a single note.

Well, to me, sfz is an accent, whereas fp or sfp is something 
entirely different. It would entirely depend on the musical context 
as to how I would implement it.

An executable shape would have to be followed by something to restore 
the original volume.

There are no good solutions here, so far as I can tell.

I've never had to create playback for music that had lots of the fp-
type markings in it, so I've just done the with MIDI continuous data, 
on an ad hoc basis and used the articulations for print only (no 
playback).
