I use the controller to turn down the volume of the sax background (attached) because the sfz is too loud. How do I set it back to the original volume after the section? Thank you!

Did you change it with the MIDI Tool, or with an Expression?

with an expression.

I didn't know that I could change it with the MIDI Tool. Can you please advise how to do that? I'm comparing different options. Thank you!

With the MIDI Tool you highlight the measures needing the change and apply it. However, you'll still need to change it back at the end of the section. It might be easier to do a companion expression with the reset to the level before the change, which might have been the standard 64.

I don't see any Dynamic except the SFZ's.
Is it p Sfz, mf Sfz, F?
You should mark it so the Players will know what you want.

Thank you! I marked it (mp in this case) in the previous bars, which are all rest. Should I mark it right next to sfz?

The playback doesn't reflect this "mp" though. It treats it all ff!!
