Im still working with this Auto Dynamic Placement plugin...
In a sequencer I step entered the following quarter notes, with the
following On key velocities
Note On Key Velocity Default Dynamic Values in Expression Selection
----- --------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
C3 10 pppp
D3 23 ppp
E3 36 pp
F3 49 p
G3 62 mp
A3 75 mf
B3 88 f
C4 101 ff
D4 114 fff
E4 127 ffff
These On Key Velocities correspond exactly to the Default Dynamic
Values found in the Expression Selection of the Expression Tool, and
the Auto Dynamics Placement Plug in (its the same thing).
I also used Note Expression and Text, as my choices.
I then imported this midi file into Finale, and then simply saved it,
and exported it out as a midi file--this was to see if Finale changed
these values at this step..
it didnt, as they remained the same.
However when trying to use this Auto Dynamic Placement plug in to
automatically assign dynamics to these notes, I didnt get the same
expected results, above-
I got the following dynamics, and returned On Key Velocities
(The plugin works in that it seems to have assigned the right
dynamics to the velocities..but somehow these velocities have been
changed from my initial Midi file)
Note On Key Velocity Default Dynamic Values in Expression Selection
----- --------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
C3 28 ppp
D3 37 pp
E3 52 p
F3 63 mp
G3 80 mf
A3 89 f
B3 104 ff
C4 115 fff
D4 127 ffff
E4 127 ffff
It also messes with the values of a quarter note, which was 480,
changing it from 443-461
----
The settings Im using with the plugin are:
Min Vel Change between Dynamics: 8
The Default Dynamic values (above)
Place by: Entry
Uncheck Avoid Accents
Placement Layer 4 Voice 2
Use Default positioning
HP has to be on , or the results I get REALLY are bad. so I chose
Standard with its default settings.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me how and why these on velocities changed ?.
I need for them to stay the same as the imported midi file, as then
the plugin would seem to work fine
Thank you for any kind help you may offer.

PS_ I also, in Finale entered the above notes and assigned the
dynamics from the default chart to them and then exported that midi
file.
I expected to see the default dynamics in my sequence.but they were
changed also..
Note Default On Vel Results using Simple entry
Results using the
(the expected result) and assigning default dynamics
imported mid file, +plugin, again using default dynamics
