Sarah, These do not affect playback. You need to use one of the playback plug-ins that will insert controller volume commands into the score. I can't remember the plug-in name, but it should be immediately apparent when you browse down the list.

I know they are there but the playback won't reflect it. What's going on? Thanks.
