Emphasising the Tune with notes above and below
I have a piano score which has melodic lines which run between hands both above and below other notes. Is there a way to set the melody lines to play louder than the accompanying notes? I found velocity settings but that doesn't seem to affect playback.

At this time, no. There are rumors of an upcoming update that will make it possible to assign different dynamics to each stave in the Grand Staff. I don't know whether that will make it possible to assign different dynamics to different voices, but that's what you will need.
As an immediate workaround, make sure that your melodic lines are in a particular Voice. Then use Tools / Explode to separate the voices into staves. Assign the dynamics to the appropriate staff.
Yes, this is a PITA! You will end up with one score for display (the "un-Exploded one) and one for playback. But it'll do what you want.
