This is exactly the information I was missing.

This works, but if I try to used voices instead of staffs, as in:

\score {
  \new Staff <<
    \new Voice \with {
      midiMinimumVolume = #0.0
      midiMaximumVolume = #0.5
    } {
      c'4\f c' c' c' c' c' c' c'
    }
    \new Voice \with {
      midiMinimumVolume = #0.5
      midiMaximumVolume = #1.0
    } {
      g'4\f g' g' g' g' g' g' g'
    }
  >>
  \midi { }
}

then something gets wrong: only the first note seems to be affected by the 
forte indication (I use 2.14.2).  This is fixed either by giving a 
*different* name to the two voices, or by using

\midi {
  \context { \Staff \remove "Staff_performer" }
  \context { \Voice \consists "Staff_performer" }
}

Thanks again,
