Accents too loud.
I cannot find a way to alter the emphasis that accents apply.
Any direction?
Thanks.

Certainly too harsh for piano. :)
I uncheck “Play” in the accent properties so that the mark is for show only, then select the note and add velocity offset to taste.
(I wonder if a velocity offset could be a property of the accent mark? There really is no one-size-fits-all.)

There is an per-instrument setting for articulations, embeded in the instrument's definition.
Only very (very very) few instruments make use of it, the vast majority used the global defaults.

I'm not able to manipulate that.
Would a plugin be able to do this?
It would be useful if any application could also act on a selected group rather than individually.

I'll try that thanks.
EDIT: I looked up marcato and it seems that it is actually louder than an accent. Do you have any more information?

Marcato means different things in the classical and jazz worlds. To most classical musicians, it means louder than a standard accent but the same length. To most jazz musicians, it means shorter than a standard accent but the same volume. It's a relatively uncommon marking in the classical world, so the MuseScore default is the jazz interpretation.
