Note velocity properties (Inspector vs. PRE Piano Roll Editor)
Is it correct to say that:
Inspector>Offset = PRE’s Velocity(Relative)
Inspector>User = PRE’s Velocity(Absolute)
If they're equivalent then why the differing names?
If they're not equivalent, what is the distinction?
Thanks,

Offset/relative is compared to the current dynamic and has the range [-127, 127]. The resulting actual velocity is calculated by looking at the velocity the note would get without modification (for example 64 from a default mp dynamic) and then add the offset value to it.
The "User" value is used in an absolute way and copied straight over.
Take a note in a passage for which currently a p dynamic is in effect (with a default velocity value of 49).
If the note is given an
offsetvalue of60the resulting velocity will be (60 + 49) so109If the note however is given that value of
60, but now as aUsersetting, the resulting velocity will be60
