Enabling swing playback for specic sections/players

You can enable swing back only for specic sections in your project and for individual players

independently, for example, if you want only the soloist to swing for a twelve-bar section.

PROCEDURE

1. In Write mode, select an item at the start of the bar where you want to change the

rhythmic feel for swing playback.

NOTE

If you select an item in the middle of a bar, the rhythmic feel change only takes effect from

the start of the next bar.

2. Open the tempo popover in any of the following ways:

●

Press Shift-T.

● Choose Write > Create Tempo.

3. Enter the rhythmic feel you want into the popover. For example, enter med for Medium

swing.

When you start entering a rhythmic feel into the tempo popover, a menu appears that

shows suggested rhythmic feels containing the letters or words you enter, which you can

select.

4. Input the rhythmic feel change and close the popover in one of the following ways:

● Press Return to input a rhythmic feel change for all staves.

● Press Alt-Return to input a rhythmic feel change only for the selected staff.

RESULT

The rhythmic feel used for swing playback is changed from the start of the bar, or the start of the

next bar if you selected an item in the middle of a bar. If you pressed Alt-Return, the rhythmic

feel change only applies to the staff on which you selected an item.

A signpost appears showing the name of the rhythmic feel you input. It is shown above the top

staff in the system for rhythmic feel changes that apply to all staves, and directly above an

individual staff for rhythmic feel changes that apply only to that staff.
