Changing dynamics playback of individual notes/staffs
I'm working on a piano arrangement of What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction, and I'd like to know how I can change the audio dynamics of a single staff. I can do it visually just fine, but when I play it back, the dynamics of that one staff are the same as the other staves (I'm using three this time) even though the middle one is marked forte and the other two are marked mezzo-forte. Changing the velocity of the notes in the middle staff does nothing for me. Please help!
And if this feature was removed (it was available in MuseScore 3), PUT IT BACK IN!!!! Thanks in advance.
Also, where can I find a solid Rock Piano soundfont for this arrangement? None of the other soundfonts I've found quite work.

This post has been silent for a week without any comments. Can someone please help me with this? I didn't post this just to get ignored.

You can't for now. But since this can't be played by one person, why not have two pianos? If the middle line is the one you want louder, have it be a separate instrument.

It actually can be played by one person. I made sure of that. It's just less cluttered if I use 3 staves instead of 2.
Can you give me a good reason WHY the feature was removed?! Because it was in MuseScore 3! I want it back ASAP!!

Well, since that option is out of the window, is there a way to change the instrumentation of only the middle staff while keeping it where it is? Because unless that's possible, the only other thing I can do is post this missing feature as a bug.

Check to see if this issue is already listed on the page MuseScore 3 features not (yet) implemented in MuseScore 4. If not, you can post it there yourself as the page is a wiki.
You can also post a bug/regression report in MuseScore's Github area, although you must open an account first.
In the meantime, you can go to the extra trouble of setting up a score with 3 pianos. Then make it look like your score by hiding and renaming staves. and removing names using staff properties. Then all three staves can have different volumes. Didn't really take too long to modify your score. Could still use a little clean-up. But I think you get the idea.

This is much better despite the extra stuff needed to make it work. Thanks!
