. * dynamics
+> Would it be hard to add support for proper dynamics in MIDI output? I
+> would really like to have this feature...
+
+Concretely spoken, for dynamics you have to write a performer
+(Dynamics_performer), that will take the input requests. If I
+understand correctly, every MIDI note played must have its dynamic
+strength set separately. That means the the Dynamics_performer must
+set the strength of every Audio_note it finds. This means that one
+has to modify existing Audio items. The best way of doing this is
+with a broadcast/acknowledge process.
+
+So the best way of handling this, is
+
+ 1 supporting dynamic settings in Audio_note
+
+ 2 Write a Dynamics_performer that will modify
+ any notes it finds to set appropriate strengths.
+
+I'd say that the work involved is not hard, but you have to be fluent
+with C++ and need some insight into the working of Notation Contexts
+and friends. I guess I could do it in a day or so, but if you are not
+so fluent with the inner workings of LilyPond, it could take you some
+more time (A few more days?).
+
+Please note, that I am *not* going to code this myself: my days are
+valuable, and I think I have more interesting things to do than fixing
+the MIDI output (I don't even have a soundcard). But I *do* want to help
+you or other people with implementing this, so if you need help, don't
+hesitate to ask.
