Is there a way to scale up or down the dynamic level of playback for a specific instrument? I don’t want to change the written dynamic and I don’t want to change the playback by hand for the entire piece. I am wondering if I can just tell Dorico to playback this instrument at say 90% normal. I know I can simply turn the volume down but it doesn’t change the timbre. Thanks!
I think you would need to adjust this in the Expression Map that the instrument is using.
I guess the setting would be one of these?

ill check it out thanks!
Most VSTs respond to CC7 setting the overall dynamic level. You could use that to raise/lower the level.
The histogram feature in the key editor is tailor made for this kind of adjustment, as it’s easy to drag it up or down for dynamics , but also drag it to adjust the relationship between softer and louder parts - you know, the inevitable “this part is good but now that part is too soft” kind of thing.
