Hi Gianmaria,

It looks like you can redefine the Scheme list of dynamics:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"

% Redefine what was set in ../scm/midi.scm
#(set! absolute-volume-alist
       (append
        '(
            ("f" . 0.95)
            ("mf" . 0.75)
            ("mp" . 0.55)
            ("p" . 0.35)
            )
        absolute-volume-alist))

\score {
 \relative c' { c4\p d\mp e\mf f\f }
 \layout {}
 \midi {}
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You can set the numbers to anything you like between 0 and 1.

Cheers,
Vaughan
