Dynamic->Advanced Settings

Your options here are:
  • Override Dynamic Note Velocity
  • Change Staff Volume

I would suggest that these are badly named.
Override and change are redundant in this context. The program is offering to let you set a new value. Hardly much use if it is not going to override or change something.

Dynamic is confusing. It conveys the idea that if I change the note velocity and I have selected, e.g. forte, that this will be the new default velocity for forte, which is not the case.

In MIDI terms, what is being changed is the note velocity, or simply the velocity, not the dynamic note velocity.
Putting zero in this field does not produce a note off, as I would expect. If this is some special that does something magical, it should be documented.  Otherwise, it should be fixed, or the range limited to 1.

Staff Volume is misnamed, since it affects the volume of all staves sharing the channel.

Calling these:
  • Staff Note Velocity
  • Channel Volume

would make more sense to me.
