I got a VST to work, and the same problem occurs.
I then switched back to MIDI, and logged the MIDI, and confirmed that Dorico is indeed sending lower velocities for the two ppp dynamic notes.
Raw dump below. Is there something I could be doing wrong to cause this?
Is it perhaps a limitation of Elements?
