The minimum and maximum overall volume of MIDI dynamic markings is
controlled by setting the properties @code{midiMinimumVolume} and
-@code{midiMaximumVolume} at the @code{Score} level. These
-properties have an effect only on dynamic marks, so if they
-are to apply from the start of the score a dynamic mark must be
-placed there. The fraction corresponding to each dynamic mark is
-modified with this formula
+@code{midiMaximumVolume} at the @code{Score} level. These properties
+have an effect only at the start of a voice and on dynamic marks. The
+fraction corresponding to each dynamic mark is modified with this
+formula
@example
midiMinimumVolume + (midiMaximumVolume - midiMinimumVolume) * fraction
remarkably.
In this example the volume of the clarinet is reduced relative
-to the volume of the flute. There must be a dynamic
-mark on the first note of each instrument for this to work
-correctly.
