Hi,
When repeating short notes, the switch between medium dynamic notes to slightly more intense ones can be very abrupt. Repeat staccato notes, and move from mf to f, and you will hear a marked jump.
This doesn't happen with long notes.
I've experience this with Violins. Not yet tried with other instruments.
This may happen because Staccato (and Marcato/sfz) patches are indeed much louder than the long ones. I wonder if this shouldn't be fixed in the basic library.

I don't know if you are working in Dorico. When this is the case, can an adjusting of the Dynamic Curve Power bring a solution? This is possible in the expression map of the instrument. The normal value is 2.5 . A value of 1 give a straight line. At the other side: this affects of course also the dynamics of the long notes.

I've noticed this both when using Synchron Player as a plugin of Dorico, and as standalone.
The curve in Dorico can't eliminate the jump, but just change the way it happens. Also, compressing the dynamic range would simply hide the issue.
Without Flow, a solution can be that of editing the volume of the cells containing the Staccato and Marcato/sfz patches.
With Flow, I don't think there is a way to accessing to the volume of each individual patch.
