Better volume translation?

It doesn't seem like volume changes are properly reflected when going between formats.

Do you mean using MIDI note velocity? Correct, currently it just uses the notetype text events to encode volume and ignores MIDI velocity. I'd change it if you have a suggestion for how it should work; the volume parameter (2nd arg to notetype) appears to range from 0 to 15, so should each of those get about 1/16 of the 1 to 127 MIDI velocity range?

I think it would be easier to work with if it translated midi velocity into notetype volume.
But yeah, I would do something like:
volume = velocity * 15/127
And I would probably round up no matter what so that any positive velocity guarantees a volume of at least 1.

Otherwise, how do I add text events like notetype in an editor like FL Studio?

It's worth noting that a volume of 0 is never used except for in dungeon1.asm:
https://github.com/iimarckus/pokered/blob/master/audio/music/dungeon1.asm#L232
But that's because the note that is being played immediately fades in.

A volume of 0 technically works, but creates a weird clicking sound every time a silent note is played, so it isn't useful really.

I've released a new version 0.8 with this implemented. Let me know if it works as you expect!
