Apr 24, 2017 at 19:45 comment added Doktor Mayhem Interestingly, for guitar this is actually useful, and quite common: you can define one string as louder than the others.
Apr 24, 2017 at 19:45 comment added Xetrov What does a diamond mean? Should I say that I am on piano
Apr 24, 2017 at 18:41 comment added Richard Perhaps paradoxically, I agree.
Apr 24, 2017 at 18:39 comment added user19146 Personally, I would say "don't bother about this notation at all". Unless you are writing only for professional-level pianists, it's not going to happen reliably anyway, because it's too difficult to do. If you really want to bring out a "solo" part, rethink the music. And writing the loudest notes with the smallest notation symbols seems back-to-front in any case.
