Volume/dynamics defaults

I've been trying to do smooth crescendos & decrescendos, but I'm having trouble setting the start and end volumes and making them match the sections before and after.  Are there default volumes for each dynamic?  Like pp=15, p=30, etc.?  I understand that to do a smooth crescendo, I need to set an override volume before and after.  Does a pianissimo with a volume override of 50 have the same volume as a fortissimo with a volume override of 50?  Or are these override values relative to the dynamic selected?

Good question there Edpaul.  I've wondered that myself when entering songs into NWC.  I know (at least on my setup) that the MIDI volume is always set to 127 on a new song.  Is this suppose to be equivalent to FFF?  Seems to equal about FF on my system.

See the help file section on Dynamics (press Help while in the Dynamic, or use the context help on the override controls).
