I would love to know how to write something like that too!!

I've been struggling with inconsistently-applied dynamics in midi for my
piano pieces, as well as the annoyance of having to use a separate,
dedicated Dynamics context. It would be *very* nice if there were a
Scheme function that could extract dynamics from, say, the upper staff.

And perhaps with some additional modifications applied as well -- often,
I find that I need to insert interpretive (or manual) dynamics into the
midi score that I wouldn't want in my printed scores, because I want to
leave that part up to the player's discretion, but for midi output I
have to hand-hold it all the way through.
