DVD Studio Pro 4. Volume control for audio in menues?

OK I am using a template for a video and have the piece of music for the menu. I add it to the audio menu on the menu, and it plays fine.

The trouble is it plays too loud and I need to turn the volume down. But there doesn't seem a way of changing the volume of the audio on the menu. Just a button to add the audio and that is it.

So how do I do it? Leaving it as it is means the menues are loud, but the m,ain audio when the clip starts is too low, meaning it will have everyone grabbing the remote to first of all turn down the menues, then turn up the clip itself.
 
DVDSP is an authoring program, not an editor. The work around I use for menu music is to export a .ac3 dolby file from compressor for my menu music, and set dialogue normalization on the export to -15 dbFS. Quicker than going into an editor and lowering it because you can just make a preset droplet.
 
On a similar note I'm told iDVD6 has a volume control for the menu audio. Apple better not overlook this in DVDSP 5 or I'm sending Limecat over there to claw some kneecaps.
