MS4 losing dynamics when opening scores from MS3
I have many MS3 scores which have User Velocities applied to notes for detailed management of dynamics. On opening such score in MS4.5.1 all such velocities are flattened to 64. Is there a setting that I can check to have these velocities preserved?
If not, does the current MS4 plugin API support the application of note velocity so that I can at least export them from MS3 and re-apply them via a plugin?
MS4.5.1 on Windows 11. (No score attached as it happens on all score which have User Velocities.)

MS4.5.1 is always a source of so many great new things...eh eh eh. I didn't know about this kind of problem, but the answer is yes, the new API supports velocity assignment. The note property that used to be called 'veloOffset' is now called 'userVelocity'. So you can make a plugin for data transfer. Enjoy.

Thanks. A bit harder work than necessary, (why are they all flattened in the first place?), but at least there's a fix in sight.

However, it is strange that this happens: if you try to compare the mscx files (with the same content, but made with the different versions of the program) they look the same, so the question is: why does the new version not import the user velocities? Could it have something to do with the 'veloType' switch? I leave you the pleasure and the burden of finding out.

It will have to remain a mystery for a bit longer. I'm still new to MS4 but already finding myself deep into plugin territory. After fixing note velocities I need a TAB Ring emulation mode. I have this working in MS3 so now need to look at porting it.
