The manual has a working example in
<URL:http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/controlling-midi-dynamics#dynamic-marks>.
You need to set dynamicAbsoluteVolumeFunction for this to work. Just
defining some function myDynamics and hoping that LilyPond will
magically know what to do with it is not enough.
The following works:
%%% BEGIN
\version "2.18.2"
piuFMarkup = \markup { \normal-text { \italic "più" } \dynamic "f" }
piuF = #(make-dynamic-script piuFMarkup)
#(define (myDynamics dynamic)
(if (equal? dynamic piuFMarkup )
0.77
(default-dynamic-absolute-volume dynamic)))
% \f = MIDI loudnes .75, so crescendo to .77
\score {
\relative c' {
c4 \f d \< e f | g1 \piuF
}
\layout {}
\midi {
\context {
\Score
dynamicAbsoluteVolumeFunction = #myDynamics
}
}
}
