Swing Settings Not working in MP3 and MIDI Exports
Sooo I have been trying to export a drum track for a funk tine (66% swing 16ths), but in mp3 and MIDI the export simply does not include this swing. I and using 3.6.2, with custom soundfonts, if that is any insight.
This may not seem like much of an issue, but it can be a huge detriment, especially when the midi is needed for a DAW project.
Comments
In order to understand and assist, we'd need you to attach the score that is giving you problems. Certainly swing exports in general, I've used it hundreds of times.
I am experiencing the same problem as I write this comment. Has a solution been made for this bug?

It's working for me in the current version - 4.3.2 - for both mp3 and MIDI. Be sure you are up to date (see Help / Check for updates) to have updated, and if you continue to have trouble, please attach the score and say where the problem is occurring. Also say what OS you are on.

Hi Marc,
Would it be possible that if one uses both "swing" and "straight" tempo markings in one project, that the software gets confused as to what to export and then reverts back to default straight settings? For this project, I used both markings to go from a swing groove, to a straight 8ths bossa nova groove. I used both the "Swing" and "Straight" tempo markings, and even edited those markings to add the word "Bossa nova" before the "Straight". Would this maybe have caused the problem? I am on Windows and on the latest version.

It's certainly possible, so as I said, if you have a score where this happens, post your score here so someone can check. Then if a bug is confirmed, you can open an issue on GitHub to report it to the developers.

Hi.
Here is a +1 for this being a bug.
Swing 8'ths works great in musescore itself ( (WIP) Grace_Kelly-2024.mscz )
It seems that the swing setting is correctly interpreted by other programs when i import the midi made with export - 'full score' ( (WIP) Grace_Kelly-2024.mid ), but not when it is a single part ( (WIP) Grace_Kelly-2024-S.mid )
I am on up-to-date versions of mac OS sonoma 15.4 and musescore 4.3.2
@Marc and any others: thanks in advance for your help :-)

From what you describe then, it sounds like you have your solution - just export the score instead of parts individually. Which is generally better anyhow. Or am I misunderstanding something?
