Thanks for the suggestion. Unless I'm doing something wrong this still seems to leave the volume unchanged (I put a normal \pp in the subsequent bar to check and playing the midi back in GarageBand I only hear the volume change on the \pp not the \subPP).
Any further suggestions? Is there a way to manually insert a volume change as a workaround (i.e. do an invisible \pp)?
