In the MWE the instrument is a piano, so you wouldn't want the note to sound louder than the surrounding notes, because the doubled note is played by only one hand. But I can see this might be a problem if the two staves were for two voices. Maybe you want it louder in that situation? That's why I suggested using \parenthesize to signal that the note should be played once. -- Knute Snortum
