Dynamics
Music Glossary: dynamics, crescendo, decrescendo.
Dynamic signs are made by adding the markings (with a backslash) to the note:
\relative { c''2\ff c\mf c\p c\pp }

Crescendi and decrescendi are started with
the commands \< and \>. The next dynamics sign, for
example \f, ends the (de)crescendo, or the command
\! can be used:
\relative { c''2\< c | c4\ff\> c c c\! }
