Choirs often use midi-files where one of the tracks has a higher volume than the others for practicing purposes. MuseScore currently ignores these volumes. See also this forum post: https://musescore.org/en/node/21534.

I have a patch ready that imports volumes from midi tracks and sets it on the first channel for the instrument that is created for the track. This is done only if a single volume control event occurs for the midi track, and that event occurs at the beginning of the track.

Do you think this is a viable approach?
