I +> would really like to have this feature... + +To answer this, I have to give a little background. Please say so if +I am being obtuse. + +Both audio and notation elements are created decentrally, when +LilyPond says "Interpreting music ... [8][16] etc." After all +elements are created, they are processed again to calculate all +parameters. After that is done, they are dumped onto the output (the +MIDI stream or the TeX file). + +The audio and notation elements are created by objects called +performer and engraver respectively. They work by taking a chunk of +input (a so-called request), and using the request to create an audio +or notation element. + +After some processing, the engraver sends the created elements to +its enclosing notation/performance context. + +In the case of notation, engravers can also modify existing elements +created by sibling engravers. Eg. the beam-engraver will modify stems +when it creates a beam over a couple of stems. This is done in +Engraver::do_acknowledge_element () and +Engraver::do_process_acknowledged (). + +In the case of audio, there are no mechanisms to modify existing audio +elements. After the audio elements are created, they are sent directly +to the enclosing context (an instance of Performer_group_performer), +through the method Performer::play () + +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 mimicking the broadcast/acknowledge mechanism of the Engravers in + the Performers + + 3 using that mechanism to write a Dynamics_performer that will modify + any notes it finds to set appropriate strengths. + +You could also kludge this by deriving from Performer_group_performer +a performer that also sets dynamics within notes, but that is not the +elegant way to do it. + +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).
