Is it the case that dynamics don’t respond to swing settings? That is, if a dynamic marking and a note are at the same rhythmic position, and the note’s playback is shifted because of the swing setting, the dynamic marking’s playback won’t be? If so, is there a workaround? This can be problematic if using a CC for dynamics.
Thanks!
Yes, I believe that is indeed the case, similarly to the fact that dynamics don’t take per-switch delays in expression maps into account at present. These are things that we will take care of in future.
Ok, thank you! I guess the obvious workarounds are manually shortening notes as needed or maybe switching to velocity dynamics locally. If I think of something clever, I’ll post here in case it’s helpful.
I wonder if scripting might be useful for this. I haven’t looked into it. The main case seems to be when there’s a note on the beat (especially tied from a previous note) followed by a note on the next subdivision with an immediately louder dynamic. With CC dynamics, you hear the tail end of the first note get louder. Maybe a script could go through the score finding all of these cases and shorten the first notes by the appropriate amount depending on the swing setting.
