From a notation file to something that plays
MusicXML is how notation programs pass scores to each other; MIDI is what DAWs, practice apps and keyboards play. Converting is how a MuseScore download becomes a backing track, or a part to practise along with at half speed.
Dynamics in the score set how hard each note is played, so a pp passage really is quiet.
