Problem to be solved

Musescore's playback system currently does not account for contextual dynamics. This feature would allow very precise playback according to the composer's intentions.

Prior art

Noteperformer solves this problem with AI.

Additional context

Volume refers to the degree of a dynamic (very p or very ff). Attack refers to whether a dynamic is approached sharply or swelled into.

Done means the contextual volume and attack controls are specified precisely enough to implement and verify.
