How about this:
music = \relative c' {
c' d e f
}
\score {
\music
\layout{}
}
\score {
\new Score {
s\mf
\music
}
\midi{}
}

Yes, it's probably a good idea. In scm/midi.scm, there is the following:
;; 90 == 90/127 == 0.71 is supposed to be the default value
;; urg: we should set this at start of track
(define-public dynamic-default-volume 0.71)
So somebody in the coding recognizes this needs to be fixed. Unfortunately,
I couldn't see how to do this in a few minutes of searching through the
source.
Anybody willing to take this on as a patch? It shouldn't be too hard, but I
imagine it'll take some time grepping through the source files.
