1st time Piano / 2nd time Forte dynamics
Hi,
Is there a smart way to have the realistic dynamics replay when having between two bars the same sequence with different dynamics without expanding the measures? Ex. 1st time Piano / 2nd time Forte
I tried putting the measure just before the start bar the Piano and at the end of the last measure (just before replay bar) the Forte but there's no change that I can be notice.
Any suggestion would be helpful. Many thanks.
Regards

I think:
Since Musescore uses the same data twice on repeats-marks, this feature is not possible at this time.

OK that's what I was guessing :-( Thx for your quick answer.
If you insist on proper playback you have to copy and paste the measures then change the dynamics.

OK. Hence for the realistic playback I'm going hence to duplicate the phrase and change the dynamics.
Thank you.
That was not what I wanted to do but as there's no other way...

Just thinking out loud here.
I'm wondering if something like this could be addressed in the future via the 'play count' under measure properties, or in some confluence with the staff properties dialogue. As I understand it, Measure properties seem to function vertically affecting all parts in the same measure, so perhaps this would not be feasible.
Or... would it be possible to create a "hidden volta" that could contain playback instructions for specific repeats? With this, you could assign things like dynamics, toggling muting of parts, octave transposition, etc., to sections of the score. (Am I imagining reading a recent topic about having certain parts only play on the first or second repeat? )
Anyway, this is just a thought, and I doubt that it is as simple to accomplish as I would hope.
Thanks,
Tom

I don't program, but the programmers often talk about unrolling the score so MuseScore sees every note it plays in succession (no repeats) so it should be doable to make this option.

I had a quite recent chat about this with lasconic. The idea for implementation would be to give each element a 'RepeatList' property as now exists for the Volta. We pretty much agreed on it being the most flexible and 'clean' implementation method.
It however also means reworking a lot of how the playback is rendered, because it now has to be able to check on each element if it is active/applicable for that pass of the 'unrolled' score. It influences how tempo/dynamics/notes/... are parsed and changes the file format.
I've been playing with hopefully implementing it for MuseScore 3; but in the grand scheme of priorities (life/job/available time on the one hand vs musescore open issues on the other) it just hasn't made it to the top of the list (yet).
