How to stop it playing swung?
Hi, just wondering why when I play my piece on musescore it plays it swung? I can't see any expression or anything that would make it swung, plus it's in 6/8 so it sounds horrible. It only applies to certain sections of the piece for some reason

Disable Swing settings in the staff- or system texts that have it set

It's disabled in the style bit. How do you get to staff/system text settings? My computer doesn't right click for some reason so that might be the problem! Sorry to be a pain!

Only via the text properties and to get to them you'd need a right-click
Maybe attach the score here

A Swing Text has properties which can be accessed via the F8 Inspector, then click the Properties button.
As the Swing text sits next to the System Text in the Text palette, maybe it was a wrong selection from the palette?

Ah, yes, never used the Inspector for that

If you don't see a text that says Swing, look for one that's bold face, and right-click that. It's a fairly common mistake for people to see the bold Swing in the palette and then add that as a way of getting bold text then editing it to same something else. In the future, don't do that, add text normally but use the Inspector to make the text bold.
If your device doesn't have a physical right-click, it almost certainly provides an alternative - it's a gesture that all systems support one way or another. For touchpads, it's usually two-finger tap. For other devices, it's often Ctrl-click.

Very late reply, but thanks, this was the problem. I just assumed the 'Swing' option was just for anything in bold text!
