A fill's dynamics are written against the fill's own base velocity rather
than in absolute terms, so the same archetype sounds right in a verse and a
chorus: fill is the body of the fill, accent the stroke that lands. One
base for the whole gesture, not one per beat — a crescendo that restarts its
arithmetic at every beat line falls back in the middle of itself.
