You can do more subtle things for Denemo's MIDI output - look at File-
>Open->Example->Temperament Shifting Playback for example. Some way
through the piece the key changes so markedly that the center of the
mean tone tuning system being used has to be shifted which is done by a
standalone Denemo Directive with its Midibytes field set to the
sequence of bytes to send to the MIDI output to achieve that.
Having said that, there is, lying dormant in the source code, provision
for implementing things like crescendi that have never been implemented
and may never be, unless an enthusiast for that sort of thing turns up
with coding expertise...
