Again, thanks! Seems to work fairly well, except I still can't get the trumpet loud enough. Quadruple doubling at "ffff" still doesn't cut it! It looks like they over-adjusted the brass on the soft side. Never thought I'd complain about that. Heh.

Of course, assigning special dynamics for a part works - which is what I've been forced to do - but if you have an existing score with many dynamic changes, it can become tiresome. I didn't realize until testing just now that the MIDI tool has nothing to do with the dynamics shown in the score. Obviously, I've never really used that tool before!
When you talk about defining a non-printing expression to set the overall piano volume lower, I'm curious what you set in the expression playback dialogue to do that. I don't understand the difference between velocity and volume in this situation either.
I discovered that one can use the "mass edit>change>note expression assignments" to replace one dynamic for another in a selected passage. So, I can change all "f" to "mf" and "mf" to "mp" (or to a different set of the same, as you suggested) and so on through the list. That seems the easiest way to do what I want. Problem solved.

Since dynamic expressions affect velocity and not volume, this should give you what you want.

[snip]P.S. On to the next hurdle: How to change the overall dynamic of a particular instrument (especially making the Piano - that thing w/ black & white keys - quieter in an orchestral piece) while also wanting to use Human Playback, since HP ignores MIDI data.[snip]
