Percussion map for a patch with dynamics on different keys?

Your demonstration file is really well organised, it was a pleasure to read it ! Thanks a lot for sharing your work.

One thing I cannot do (and understand), when dealing with the timpani, is that once Muted has been enabled, I have to use ord. in the score to revert to normal, even though natural and muted are in the same Mutual exclusion group.

I noticed this too, it seems the current workaround is to set your articulation type to “Attribute” instead of “Direction” (Daniel answered here).

@MarcLarcher

would it be interesting to set an initial value of CC11, and a base value ? I’ve set it to 90 in order not to have too soft dynamics, but is this useful?

I’m very interested to know your thoughts about this. I was thinking of using secondary dynamics in my Spitfire templates (ww, brass & strings), because they currently lack some dynamics (ppp-fff span is not as large as I’d like). Perheaps I should also experiment with “Dynamic curve power” in Dorico.

I’ve always been reluctant to using CC11 in addition to CC1 thinking it would reduce realism, but I realize it’s at the cost of dynamics. I don’t know to what extent Spitfire libraries are designed to be used with CC11 in addition to CC1 or velocity.
