Hello

Can I have different dynamics for each instrument?
For example strings forte = 95 value and woodwinds f= 85. I wrote custom playback for my midi output to control VSTi outside Sibelius. Even I create custom dynamics as switch, but with this technique, controller is not followed by crescendos.

If by "control VSTi outside Sibelius", you mean a DAW, then it depends on the DAW. You can export your score as a midi or a music xml. As long as the crescendo is setup properly in Sibelius (a dynamic marking at the end of it), the information should track in the DAW. Try both the above formats to see which one gives the most information. Although you can work with certain midi information, Sibelius is not primarily a midi application. It is notation software.
