There is no piano staff, only a chordmode section (something like this): -- Accordi = \chordmode { \repeat unfold 60 { f2:9+ bes2:7 } \repeat unfold 2 { f1 f1 ees1 ees1 } } -- Nor "\set Staff.midiXVolume" nor "\ppp" on chords (like f1\ppp) works. Just to know this chordmode section is included in the staff this way: -- \score { \new StaffGroup << \new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##t \Accordi } \new Staff << \WithChords \global \Tromba >> \new Staff << \WithChords \global \Alto >> \new Staff << \WithChords \global \Tenore >> \new Staff << \WithChords \global \Baritono >> >> \layout { } } -- > > BTW, an easier way may be to simply use quieter dynamic marks on the > music > of the instruments you want to reduce - these also affect the MIDI > volume. The "Control MIDI" dynamic marks are printed in the sheet (and, by the way, i have to replace the real dynamics).

Can you point me to some docs about this Scheme procedures?
