Rules

01

pp (pianissimo) = very soft | MIDI velocity ~20

02

p (piano) = soft | MIDI velocity ~40

03

mp (mezzo-piano) = moderately soft | MIDI velocity ~60

04

mf (mezzo-forte) = moderately loud | MIDI velocity ~80

05

f (forte) = loud | MIDI velocity ~100

06

ff (fortissimo) = very loud | MIDI velocity ~120

07

Crescendo (<) = gradually get louder

08

Decrescendo/Diminuendo (>) = gradually get softer
