Changes in the MIDI volume take place only on starting a note, so crescendi and decrescendi cannot affect the volume of a single note. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/creating-midi-files.html Regards Am 13.11.2017 um 08:38 schrieb Gianmaria Lari: > > \version "2.19.80" >

You can change `Voice.midiExpression` (0≤x≤1) in the middle of a note, which changes dynamics/volume. I don't know whether you can do that to one specific note without affecting other simultaneous ones, but you can just create a new voice for that. On 11/13/17 11:16, Gianmaria Lari wrote: > >
