Ah, thanks, I thought that this wouldn't apply the dynamics to both voices in 
the staff. But after reading the doc about midi generation, I realize that it 
does. On the other hand it's currently not possible to set different dynamics 
in the midi for sopranos and altos if they are printed in the same staff (I'd 
need this for a piece, where the alto has the main voice, so the soprano 
voice needs to be pp, while the alto is only p). Do I understand this right?
