FFFF and PPPP
The title says it all. I need louder stuff. I think other people would use it as well. Please, I'd love this.

After you type a valid dynamic, Noteflight will format it. But if you type in an extreme dynamic, Noteflight will not format it because it only understands within the range of ppp to fff, accent dynamics, and hairpins. I would request support for the following dynamics:
- ppppp
- pppp
- ffff
- fffff
- sff
- sffz
- rf
- rff
- rffz
- sfff
- rfff
- sfffz
- rfffz
- sffffz
- rffffz
- sffff
- rffff
- sfffff
- rfffff
- sfffffz
- rfffffz
- ffz
- fffz
- ffffz
- fffffz

I think this is ridiculously going way overboard. Very rarely does one need a dynamic above fortissimo or below pianissimo, and when one does, triple forte and triple piano should more than suffice. It's asking far too much of a performer to make these ultrafine microscopic gradations. If you want just a bare whisper, write "niente". If you nevertheless insist on quadruple forte or quadruple piano, just put two fortissimos or two pianissimos side by side, etc.

Noteship: You mean “WERE supported”, I think. “Niente” is already supported in the sense that you can write it in. It’s really asking too much to expect a music notation program also to be a full sequencing program or a sequencing program also to be a full notation program. Make separate pdf and audio files of your scores.

No, it’s your imagination that’s unique. I’m not saying that a unison isn’t a little louder, but the construction of the human ear (including neural network) insures that it won’t be anywhere close to twice as twice as loud. That’s why an entire violin section playing unison, as it typically does in an orchestra, doesn’t overwhelm a soloist playing a violin concerto.
